Hello,

Here is an old (minor) bug that is lurking in the Debian BTS.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464363

The bug is that when assigning non ASCII keys as hot keys in a Menu,
the underline underlines the non ASCII character and the one after it.

Here is a simple test

DestroyMenu TestMenu
AddToMenu TestMenu "Test" Title
+ "T&êst" Echo Test
+ "&ñice one" Echo Nice One
+ "Th&ááát" Echo Thaaat
+ "&This One" Echo This

Then open the menu.

In addition to the visual bug, I was not able to correctly use these
non-ASCII characters as hot keys. Since I don't have a keyboard that
has accented keys on them it could be that I can't properly test if
they work as hot keys (since I have to hit alt-key to type them).

Seems there was once a patch trying to make these hot keys work better

Unsure if the bug is just an extra character is underlined in the Menu
or if using non ASCII characters for hot-keys doesn't work.
