Recent work done to make the handling of Accelerators compliant with GTK+ v3, on GTK+3 compliant desktop environments implemented a desired behavior or simply toggling the assigned mnemonic accelerators visible (e.g. the underlined character to be pressed to activate the action). https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92630 But, on GTK+2 and Windows and OS X the adjustments have been somewhat unwelcome and cause disruption in the handling of the Accelerators. As you note on Windows the <Atl> key moves focus to the main menu--and then the mnemonic key must be entered to navigate. Previously they were handled as paired <Alt>+key values. You can get some feel for the issue in the proposal to make the GTK+ toggle optional in non-GTK+3 Desktop Environments. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99326 So, the issue is still be kicked around.
