Description

The constructor for FlexNativeMenuEvent sets cancelable to true by default. FlexNativeMenu doesn't actually do anything different if you call preventDefault().

Actual Results:
It's not actually cancelable.

Expected Results:
Something should actually be cancelable, or it should not be cancelable by default.

By the way, if the keyboard shortcut for a menu item is simply a character (like "a" or "b"), it is impossible to type that character into a s:TextInput! I assumed that calling preventDefault() on the FlexNativeMenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK event when the s:TextInput has focus would let me type that character, but nothing changed.

Workaround (if any):
