Delphi - How can I prevent the main form capturing keystrokes in a TMemo on another non-modal form?

I have an app that opens a non-modal form from the main form. The non-modal form has a TMemo on it. The main form menu uses "space" as one of its accelerator characters.

When the non-modal form is open and the memo has focus, every time I try to enter a space into the memo on the non-modal form, the main form event for the "space" shortcut fires!

I have tried turning MainForm.KeyPreview := false while the other form is open but no dice.

Any ideas?

TIA
