And to a Windows user this is a bug.

I've worked on a few personal projects in MS Visual Studio (.NET) and I have seen that while pressing Alt 
activates the menu by default, this is overridable by the application if you need it to be, you just have to 
trap it during the keyup event from the Alt key.  (I have one project where Alt+Mousewheel executes a 
function but Alt by itself passes through to menu activation.)
