Investigating further, I find that if I launch a lucid "emacs-28" via
src/temacs -Q
and evaluate (menu-bar-mode -1) then the popup menu, formed from <f10>,
does indeed allow navigation from the arrow keys (as well as the
mouse). Only launching "emacs-28" from the following
1. src/emacs -Q
2. src/bootstrap-emacs -Q
3. src/emacs-28.0.50.1 -Q
fails to allow the popup menu-bar to be navigable from the arrow keys.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Colin Baxter.
