I'm seeing menuPick here when using the keyboard-only method (Vista with Rev 2.8.1). Does the menu button have its traversalOn set to true? That might make a difference.

Yes, the traversalOn is true (not sure how I'd be able to interact with it via the keyboard without that).

Thank you for looking into this. With your good result I was prompted to look further, and found the true issue:

The menupick message is indeed being sent, but the menuhistory is not updated when the control is manipulated via the keyboard as it is with the mouse.

This simple script let me check this out as I tested:

on menupick
  put the params && the menuhistory of the target
end menupick

I've just posted this bug to the QAC:

Any of you using option controls on Windows may want to vote for this, since unless you've already scripted workarounds you'll find that relying on the value of the menuhistory may yield bugs in your application from a mismatch between what the user sees as the control value and what the engine thinks the control value is.
