FIX. RadMenu - Alt key is not properly processed in a MDI child form

There is a MDI parent RadForm containing a RadMenu with items. There is a MDI child RadForm which also contains a RadMenu with items. The mnemonics are enabled for all the menu items. The menu merging is disabled (RadMenu.AllowMerge=false).

When you show the parent form together with the child form and focus the child form, pressing the Alt key highlights only the menu items from the parent form. It is not possible to activate the menu items from the child form.

Please refer to the attached sample project and gif file illustrating the obtained incorrect behavior and the observed behavior with a standard MS Form and MenuStrip

Hello, Rick,       

Thank you for reporting this issue with the RadMenu in a MDI scenario. I have also updated your Telerik points.

Currently, due to the complexity of the issue, the possible solution that I can suggest is to use menu merging for the maximized state of the form or add global shortcuts for the child menu: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/shortcuts/assigning-global-radshortcuts 

You can pass the RadMenu object in the provider's constructor and thus when the shortcut is handled, you can use the RadMenuItem.ShowChildItems method for the respective item.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
