This is standard windows behavior.  Firefox does it.. Chrome is broken...  
arduino does it  Oracle virtualbox does it...
...


This is important for accessibility.  It makes the shortcut keys and
interface discoverable by keyboard.

No this is not valid. As implemented on Windows builds of LibreOffice, the
<Alt> key modifier will toggle Main menu bar active and positioning focus onto
File menu. 

Changes were by design for cross platform behavior providing consistent
accelerator behavior--by splitting the <Alt>, and then reading <nemonic>--was
implemented when the accelerators were refactored for GTK3 compliance (bug
92630 at LO 5.1 release).

As currently implemented on Windows, the <Alt> modifier functions like the
<F10> shortcut to position focus to the main menu--Movement <Left, Right, Down,
Up> cursors are then necessary to navigate the menus. Alternatively, typing the
mnemonics assigned to the "top" menu entries after an <Alt> modifier, function
as accelerators to that menu.

Ongoing efforts adjusting UI to make consistent in all modules/dialogs
including the Start Center. Consistency supports a11y--there is no "standard"
MS Windows behavior.

All correct, and IMHO => NAB
