The deck will be popped-up, you can walk with mouse over it, after keyboard
events generated by M-x view-hello-file, the HELLO file is actually opened
but the display is not refreshed, so you can not see its contents. So Emacs
really seems (and interprets) key-presses even when menu is displayed...
