Strange design. Say I want to open the Edit menu. I press F10 and
suddenly I cannot see the Edit menu anymore.

I see that there are a lot of complications.
What about doing it differently? For no-toolkit Emacs, it would be
enough for me if the menu simply opened a *Menu* buffer with the
relevant menu items. All those issues would suddenly disappear.
