I can't reproduce this: after pressing f10 (which opens the File menu),
pressing "e" does nothing except beep.  Is it supposed to do anything?

On w32 it opens the Edit menu. I thought it should to that on all platforms.

Right?  That's what I was expecting.

Not on GNU/Linux.  But never mind; could you post the backtrace?

Yes, respectfully, on

GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of
2008-10-21 on g41r2f1

Following f10, I did e expecting to see the expansion of Edit while I was
looking for something ... tools for working on NEWS / texi source / elisp
source ... and having seen it happen in the not-too-recent past on maybe
other menu-bar-items, I'd finally report it.

What is the value of menu-bar-mode (C-h v menu-bar-mode RET) in your
Emacs?  Are you using a text-only terminal or X?

Assuming you're using tmm (the text-based menu) instead of the GTK
menubar, I've just fixed a bug in tmm that is probably related to what
you're seeing.  Maybe that removes your problem; let me know.
