  *                      the F10 key function does not work      *

  ****************************************************************
  The Function key F10 is used to activate the menubar of the
  active program in many of the Windows applications like
  browsers, Lotus Expeditor, etc. To avoid activating the
  menubar, when F10 key was pressed in the HOD Display screen,
  the event was consumed. This is the reason why F10 was not
  processed by HOD.
  

Problem conclusion

• To resolve the problem, after consuming the event when F10 is
  entered, a KeyReleased event is sent to HOD's KeyRemap. This
  will process the F10 key in the usual way HOD does.
  
  Fix is scheduled to be available in HOD 10.0.8 Refresh pack.
  Fix is scheduled to be available in HOD 11.0.2 Refresh pack.
