Greg, I realise now I did indeed misunderstand the nature of this bug. I
think the solution to this would be to require the user to use the up
arrow to leave the current drop down menu and return to the panel. The
expected behaviour is this case would be:
1) User clicks on a menu in the panel. The menu icon is highlighted with Ubuntu
orange.
2) User clicks down to enter the menu, and does this several times. Each time
the user presses the up/down arrow key while within the menu results in the
menu item being highlighted in Ubuntu orange. This is the current behaviour.
3) Currently, the user can use the left/right arrow keys to cycle through the
menus while focus is on one of the menu items i.e. they don't have to leave the
menu. I think this should change. Instead, the user should be required to
navigate back to the menu with the up arrow before they can move to an adjacent
menu.
This would solve the problem currently experienced with the Datetime
menu in Natty.
Confirming as a paper cut.
