--- Comment #10 from Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> ---
There are several examples of menu items that act like radio buttons, e.g.:
* Calc: Format > Alignment has two such groups, with a menu separator between
them.
* Writer: in the context menu of a picture: Anchor. (Note: for the item
Alignment and that same context menu, you can't see which alignment is active.)
* Writer: in the context menu for text: Font, Size, Alignment, Line spacing.
* Impress: View > Color/Grayscale; the group "Normal, Outline, Slide Sorter,
Slide Show, Notes Page, Handout Page".
There are several examples of menu items that act like check boxes, e.g.:
* many items in the View menu (Calc: Formula Bar, Status Bar, Value
Highlighting, ...; Writer: Status Bar, Rules, Hidden Paragraphs, ...; Impress:
Task pane, ...); the submenu for selecting toolbars, ...
* Writer & Calc: Edit > Changes > Record.
* Impres: View > Grid. View > Guides.

How should this issue be verified? This depends on what kind of issue it is.
A. Is it mainly about the usability of the menu items, i.e. visually
recognising that some menu items work like radio buttons or checkboxes?
B. Is it an accessibility issue, i.e. the accessibility API does not tell
assistive technologies that some menu items work like radio buttons or
checkboxes?
C. Is it an issue in the code that has different consequences than A and/or B?
(If yes, what consequences?)

If A: Do we need a better visual indication that a menu items is a check box or
a radio button. (Currently, this is a process of exclusion: any menu item that
has no pictogram to its left and no ellipsis or submenu arrow to its right.)
If B: Is this something at the level of the UNO API or at the level of its
mapping to ATK/AT-SPI (Linux), the Java Accessibility API (Windows), the Mac OS
X accessibility API?
If C: ??
