I just tested with VLC (which is the only Qt app I have installed at
the moment) and it didn't happen. I had to press Alt + M to highlight
the Media menu. If I pressed Alt only, I didn't get any focus hint on
the menu bar

That's pretty much ad hoc behaviour because otherwise there's no way
to access the menu — I also find it extremely irritating because it
makes the content area jump around, though that may be just me ;-) —
but even then, the menu is not focused: the menu bar is shown, but
it's not given focus.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
