Not sure if this is the right category. Pressing alt and escape won't allow to traverse the top application menu (File, Edit etc.) with the keyboard arrows like in R5.

I had the chance to test the BeOS menu behaviour (after so much time) and here's what I found.
In beos, when a menu window is opened, clicking on a menubar on a different window doesn't make it open a menu. Actually, clicking on any view on another window doesn't produce a MouseDown event in that view (except if the view has the B_ACCEPT_FIRST_CLICKS flag). This isn't the case in haiku.
Test case:
- Open Terminal
- Click on the "Terminal" menu item
- Click with the right mouse button on the desktop tracker window.
In BeOS: The Terminal menu will close In Haiku: The Terminal menu will close, and the desktop context menu will open.
This causes many kinds of problems, and AFAIK is is only fixable in the app server, right ? Axel ?

Replying to jackburton:
Looking in WindowLayer.cpp (WindowLayer::MouseDown()) I found this: eat the click if we don't accept first click if ((Flags() & (B_WILL_ACCEPT_FIRST_CLICK | B_AVOID_FOCUS)) == 0)
return;
This doesn't make much sense to me. We aren't exiting the loop if the window has the B_AVOID_FOCUS flag set.

Actually this very issue seems to have been fixed in hrev19857. The original bug still remains, though.

Works since a few revisions, or at least, since hrev23389
ALT-ESC now (since hrev18517) opens the menu. But you can't navigate it yet, because menu window don't get keyboard focus yet.
