Joe Bowser commented on CB-9949:
--------------------------------

Again, I'm going to leave this here as our rationale for not actively 
supporting the menu button:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html

Namely this part:
"Beginning with Android 3.0 (API level 11), Android-powered devices are no 
longer required to provide a dedicated Menu button. With this change, Android 
apps should migrate away from a dependence on the traditional 6-item menu panel 
and instead provide an app bar to present common user actions."

This means that unless someone sends me a pull request to fix it, I'm actively 
going to not fix this.  Someone actually sent a pull request that fixed the 
Android plugin so that it's supported, so it's just a Javascript fix that I'm 
not going to do on principle.  In this case, the only way that we're going to 
provide support for this at all is if someone from the community actually cares 
about this deprecated feature.
