Just restarting JFW can do it, though, if you're networked, you probably
won't be able to restart it as a service. Sometimes tapping the Windows
key can even help; it's certainly better than thrashing the life out of
the Alt-key, accompanied by muttered threats and imprecations.

Ted:
I used to see that problem with Alt refusing to work as well, with
older version of JFW. What are the "old remedies" of which you speak?
The only one I know that works for sure is a reboot. Am I missing
something?
