Bug ID: 156457
Summary: Keep relevant accelerators visible when submenu
auto-expands (GTK3)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: accessibility
Severity: minor
Priority: low
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

When navigating with the keyboard to a submenu, the accelerator characters are
not underlined even though they are available to use.
Example steps:
1. Open Writer.
2. Click on Tools, move pointer to "Protect Document": as expected, no
accelerators shown in either the menu or the submenu.
3. Press "Alt + T" to expand the Tools menu, then "P" to expand the submenu: as
expected, accelerators shown in the menu and the submenu only when they are
active/relevant.
4. Click on Tools menu, then press Down arrow once: accelerators shown (in my
opinion, expected because the user is using the keyboard to navigate)
5. Down arrow to the "Protect Document" submenu
Actual results:
No accelerators shown in either the Tools menu nor the Protect Document
submenu, even though they still apply to the Tools menu.
This can be tested by pressing "B": it opens the ~Bibliography Database, not
Protect ~Bookmarks.
Expected results:
Tools menu accelerators remain visible.
This is also true for context menus.
This is reproduced in a recent master build, and since GTK3 was made the
default VCL over GTK2, in 6.2. (Before, accelerators were visible in the two
menus, so can't really be called a regression.)
