Description Cor Nouws 2024-10-23 19:23:55 UTC
(Ubuntu 24.4 - GNOME - GTK3)

- open e.g. Writer or Calc document
- Alt-F (menu File opens)
- u (should open Recent Documents)
  > menu closes

- open e.g. Writer or Calc document
- Alt-F (menu File opens)
- Down
- u (should open Recent Documents)
  > menu works correctly

The other main menu's behave fine.
Notably also Format, of which the first entry, just as menu File, is a sub-menu.

Works for me even with gtk3.

Dennis: do you release Alt key after the initial opening?
