That would be *very* helpful.

That's bad.

I don't know where to start looking without a reproducible recipe.
The fix for 6171 only touched tmm.el so it can't affect GUI menus.

In which sense?

There are many different ways to "handle" remapping.  where-is-internal
most definitely has code to do something specific with remapping.

> Could someone who knows remapping please look at that?

Look at what?
