Hrm. happens in gedit and yelp, as well, but not evolution; I'm betting this is
a gtk 2.6 problem. Can someone over there take a look at it?
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2005-01-03 06:10:27 UTC 
This is not a new problem. GTK+ has always resolved mnemonics wrt to the
currently  active menu shell, which is the menubar in this case. Note that bug
89336 has a patch to make this work as you want, by trying to resolve mnemonics
in the open submenu if they are not found in the menubar.
