Oh, I see. That makes sense, now that you say it!

Perhaps the documentation for `describe-key' should mention that? It
might say something about it displaying that final hyphen while it is
waiting for more input, when a complete key command has not yet been
entered for it to display help on.

Right. I understand that now. [Although in this case I wasn't looking
for the documentation of one of the menu items, I was looking for the
documentation for whatever function pops up the menu itself.]
