Hmm, I tried this as a quick hack. Did not work - though I may have hacked it wrong, of course. No more time for this right now. Anybody got an idea how we do this? The trick to make it behave like Windows is that the ALT key is required to select the menu, but once the menu is open, the ALT key is no longer required to select items in the menu that is shown... Though if the ALT key is pressed too, that also works fine. The current code (with the #2199 fix) requires ALT in both cases. Though I suspect that many users just hold the ALT key down anyway and don't even notice that we have an issue here!
