Bug or Expected Behaviour?

[Chris Vetter]

Hi,

I just noticed that when a submenu is opened and you press a menu item 
key (say "ALT+SHIFT+K" for compacting a folder in GNUMail) nothing 
happens. You have to close the submenu first to use key shortcuts. Is 
that a bug or expected behaviour? If it's the latter, I'm not sure I 
like that...
