This feature: * no mnemonics are shown when menus are opened with the mouse is quite UNfortunate and to my way of thinking, inappropriate. IMHO the way people learn the mnemonics is by seeing them. It is the mouse-users that most "need" (should) learn them to increase their productivity and reduce visits to the doctor for "mouse shoulder". Just my 2 øre worth....
