Public bug reported:
Release: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Package version (unity): 7.4.0+16.04.20160906-0ubuntu1
Expected behaviour: Shortcut identifiers in window (sub-) menus are
shown exactly when they are applicable.
Current behaviour: Shortcut identifiers in a (sub-) menu are shown
exactly when an item of this particular (sub-) menu is highlighted.
Problematic case: When accessing a menu via Alt+[letter] (e.g. Alt+F for
File) or when switching between top-level menus using arrow keys, no
menu item will be highlighted, so the actually active shortcuts of that
menu are not underlined. You have to first use the mouse or the arrow
keys to highlight a menu item.
This defeats the purpose of these shortcuts to select an item without
having to use the mouse or arrow keys to go through the menu.
