Title:
  "alt+f" followed by "alt" brings up HUD underneath the File menu

Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1. Open Firefox
  2. Press Alt+F to open the File menu.
  3. Press Alt to bring up the HUD

  Actual behvaiour: HUD appears behind the File menu.

  Expected behaviour:
  1. *If* the HUD grabs Alt, it should cause the File menu to lose focus (which would cause it to disappear).

  2. But knowing how menus work on X - they normally supress *all*
  global keyboard shortcuts.  That includes things like volume keys, as
  well as e.g. Alt+F2.  So it's slightly surprising for the HUD shortcut
  to conflict with the menu at all :).

  3. Another point of consistency - once you're in the File menu, you
  can't use Alt+E to bring up the Edit menu.  So being able to do Alt to
  bring up the HUD is not wonderfully consistent.

  I have no strong preference, but I think it'd be better if the HUD
  didn't come up at all.  (Unless Wayland reverses #2 above, so that
  showing the HUD could be considered more consistent...)
