window.menuBarVisibility="hidden" opens with Alt+F and stays open

[dmke]

When the menu bar is configured to be hidden, I'd expect it to stay hidden and to disappear, after I accessed the File menu directly with Alt+F (or Alt+E for Edit, or Alt+S for Selection, ...; you know, the underlined letter in the menu items name—I'm sure this feature has a name).

I could use "toggle" visibility, but that interacts annoyingly with desktop switching (#22488) and accidental Alt key presses (#35010). My current workaround is to set menuBarVisibility to "visible" or "toggle", save config, change menuBarVisibility back to "hidden" and save again. But that just takes too much time, even if I only need to access the menu every once in a while.

• VSCode Version: 1.23.1 (d0182c3)
• OS Version: Debian Linux, Stretch, 9.4

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Configure window.menuBarVisibility to "hidden".
2. Press Alt+F (File menu opens)
3. Press Esc (or close the menu otherwise, i.e. by clicking into to editor, Alt-Tabbing to other applications)
4. Menu stays open, can't be closed ("View: Toggle Menu Bar" command does nothing)

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Toggled menu bar can make the entire window contents jump up making hit zones move (#21889)
• When the menu is hidden by default, toggling should be temporary, and dismissed by non-menu actions (#22487)

I believe, #22487 covers it.
