It toggles the visibility of the menubar, no matter if autovisibility is on or off. (Note: it's autovisibility, not autohide!). If you have autovisibility enabled and pop up the menubar with the mouse at the upper edge and it F10, the menubar hides again. The next moment you hit the upper edge again, the menubar unhides. The autovisibility only works in mouse mode 0 (arrow) mode, not in yoke or view panning mode.
