Help with MenuItem.setAccelerator() on OS X [message #531391]

I would like to specify that cmd-minus is the key for a "zoom out" menu item. Using
item.setAccelerator(SWT.MOD1 | '-')

shows the correct command glyphs in the menu item. However, it responds to both cmd-minus and cmd-shift-minus (that's cmd-underline).

I want it to respond only to cmd-minus.

If I try different base keys, the shifted and non-shifted versions are correctly distinguished. For example,

item.setAccelerator(SWT.MOD1 | 'd');
responds only to cmd-d, and

item.setAccelerator(SWT.SHIFT | SWT.MOD1 | 'd');
responds only to cmd-shift-d, both showing correct glyphs in the menu item.

I tried SWT.KEYCODE_BIT with the actual keycode, but that also fails to distinguish minus and underline.

Can anyone explain, or suggest a solution?

TIA,
Doug

It sounds like a bug to me. Can you raise a bug request at
