It would be nice to be able to disable all special character handling in menus, similarly to the discussed option for tooltips. Filing so I don't forget.

I think this came up before, or at least something like it; I remember Edzard was asking, and I had some suggestions... um...

It looks like I had a possible hackaround (NOT a fix!)

Though I do wonder if this whole thing might be a bug of sorts, at the time I found...

One annoying feature of this is that Fl_Choice sets fl_draw_shortcut non-zero for its labels whether SHORTCUT_LABEL is set or not, so simply defeating SHORTCUT_LABEL may not be enough... I mention this because I had a subclass of Fl_Choice that cleared SHORTCUT_LABEL, but the draw method still went ahead and set fl_draw_shortcut non-zero anyway.

And I wonder if Fl_Choice “forcibly” setting fl_draw_shortcut non-zero regardless of the state of SHORTCUT_LABEL is a misfeature?

Thanks, I see my idea of a FL_MENU_IGNORE_ACCELERATOR flag would work.
