This is largely something that only Windows does — I cannot reproduce

Just a note, the default Qt widget style on Linux does have this behaviour
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
Okay, I poked around and it depends on the style. The majority of the
stock styles do; KDE/Oxygen doesn't.
(and so does Firefox *if* the menu bar is hidden by default).
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 ;-) —
Oh, completely agreed there.
but even then, the menu is not focused: the menu bar is shown, but
it's not given focus.
It really is focused for me, as in I can hit accelerator keys and use
the arrows to navigate the menubar, although I suspect that's because
my Firefox is built against gtk2 :).
Anyway, in lieu of Alt being consistent with Windows, F10 seems to be
a key shared between GTK+ and Windows for focusing the menubar
(assuming GTK+/Windows respects this shortcut).
Thanks,
Bryan
