As of FlatLaf 1.3, clicking a JMenuItem(Action) while pressing a modifier key like SHIFT or CTRL has no special effect

Hello,

As of FlatLaf 1.3, clicking a JMenuItem(Action) while pressing a modifier key like SHIFT or CTRL has no special effect. I mean: ActionEvent.getModifiers() always returns 0.

See attached Test.java. Test.java.gz

Compile it using:
javac -cp "flatlaf-1.5.jar:." Test.java

Run it using:
java -cp "flatlaf-1.5.jar:." Test

Run it with default LaF using:
java -cp "flatlaf-1.5.jar:." Test -noflatlaf

Additional info:

• I did my tests on my Linux box. I can also test this on Windows if you want.
• There is no such problem with Java 8, only with Java 11 or Java 16.
• There is no such problem with the Metal LaF whatever the version of Java.
• This feature used to work fine with FlatLaf 1.2 whatever the version of Java.

Thank you for your beautiful LAF!

Can reproduce it. Occurs only with heavy-weight popups (default on Linux and macOS; on Windows only for large popups that do not fit into the window).

This line is responsible:

FlatLaf/flatlaf-core/src/main/java/com/formdev/flatlaf/ui/FlatRootPaneUI.java

Line 161 in 1df9597

root.addHierarchyListener( hierarchyListener );

Added in commit 7b24842 for FlatLaf 1.3

But have no idea why adding an hierarchy listener has this effect...
