Description: In Writer, the context menu for the "File" option in the standard toolbar uses the same letter, "e" ("E") as the activation letter. The simple workaround is to use the down key to choose which of the two options is actually desired and hit the Enter key. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click on "File" in the standard menu toolbar. 2.Use the down key to scroll into the context menu. 3.Note that "Export As" and "Print Preview" both have the same activation letter, "e" ("E"). Actual Results: The program chooses "Export As" even if the user intends to choose "Print Preview". Expected Results: I think separate letters should be used for the activation letters for the two options. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: (None)
This is not a bug unless there is a menu trap--as there is here. E to ~Export As followed by E for ~Export to PDF. Otherwise duplicates are allowed, and user simply reenters the same mnemonic to move to the next assignment. See how V behaves for 'Sa~ve Remote' and 'Sa~ve All' for example on the File menu.
The mnemonics are localized and are mostly generated for assignment within the menus, but some get hard coded against a control or dialog. And we can end up with keyboard trap on descent into a submenu. An <Esc> should always back out of a a sub-menu, and then reenter the mnemonic. Duplicates accelerators are not incorrect, just some are more of a nuisance like the <Atl>+E This one is probably worth correcting.
