Rohit is write, it's a 'feature' of the VCL, namely Menus.pas in the
interaction of TMenu.FindItem and TMenu.IsShortCut. Essentially,
TMenu.FindItem doesn't take into account the Enabled status when matching on
Shortcuts so it will always return the 'first' MenuItem of interest to push
into the MenuStack of things to Click. It then bails out later upon finding
the item is not Clicked.
So, I'd say it's either patch the VCL or remove/add your Shortcuts at
run-time by holding your own Shortcut repository and tracking the
enabled/disabled status.
TTFN,
Paul.
