Dear Maintainer,

F2 is supposed to toggle Cursor mode in Jalview. When I start Jalview
and open an alignment, pressing F2 does nothing and the program stays in
Normal mode. Nor does editing an alignment work: pressing up/down arrow
with a sequence selected does not move it up or down, pressing space
does not insert a gap, etc. However, if I just click around enough, the
program starts working normally: going to Tools -> Preferences -> Web
Services and deleting a service URL makes editing an alignment and
switching to Cursor mode work. So does opening and closing another view
of the alignment.

Here is the info that Jalview prints when started from the command line:
