Problems with cursor and shortcuts when using JNLP services on MAC OS X

Question

After invoking the JNLP services on a MAC I loose the ability to set the cursor and invoke keyboard shortcuts. On Windows this is not a problem, so I believe it is a bug and I have reported it to Apple. Meanwhile, I would appreciate if someone could help me with finding a work-around. To identify the problem run the following code with Java Web Start (i.e., you need to add the program to a jar and launch it using a JNLP script). You also need to include the javax.jnlp package.
Observe that the cursor changes to cross-hairs when entering the circle. After invoking the Open file menu item, the cursor does not change any longer. Shortcut key do not work either, but if you open the menu and close it again without selecting any of the menu items, the shortcuts are OK again.

Barbara, Thanks very much taking the time to respond to my posting. Your input and directions were just what I needed.I accessed the print settings in the pull down menu, setup the print options including the color profile for Elements and the Printer to sRGB, and printed my picture. This resolved all the invalid color problems I was having, but I did notice that there was a hint of magenta overall in the picture. I had read an article that said to use Canon Color Matching instead of Color Sync to prevent that but I couldn't make that change in the pull down menu. I tried in the Presets dialog box but that didn't appear to be possible. Should I make that change as well?
Also, in my travels through Elements 13 I notice under Edit->Color Settings that there were options for No Color Mgmt, Optimize for Screen, for Printing, or ability to chose one or the other (real time I assume). How do those options fit into this scenario?
Thanks again
