Description
Describe the bug
Like the root menus:
mouse navigation
keyboard navigation:
The underline in the submenus should only appear with alt-initiated navigation:
mouse and keyboard -initiated navigation:
It may be by design, but it just feels weird to me. No other software I know does this.
Expected behavior
The underline only appears when the user initiated navigation with alt, like for the root menus.
Platform information

Research direction
Start by reproducing the menu and submenu behavior on Windows, comparing mouse navigation with Alt-initiated keyboard navigation as shown in the issue screenshots. Trace the existing root-menu shortcut hint behavior and locate the corresponding submenu rendering; done means submenu underlines appear only after Alt-initiated navigation.
