Keyboard in Ctrl+D menu doesn't work for AltGr+letters

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Keyboard in Ctrl+D menu doesn't work for AltGr+letters

Post by *Usher »

You cannot use Polish letters or any other accented character entered with AltGr+letter to select menu item in Ctrl+D menu. The menu just closes. For example, "żółć" item is accessible only with arrows or with mouse.
EDIT: AFAIK it was never working.
There is similar (solved) topic for breadcrumbs:

This is a standard windows menu, I don't think I can change that, but I will try.

Edit: Here just pressing AltGr closes the menu, I can't even type any character with AltGr. This seems to be a limitation of the Windows popup menu.

Breadcrumbs are not using a menu, they are their own windows with a listbox inside.
