The fix applies to single/first menu, its doesn't apply to other Menu items when there are more than one. Since you have taken _gedit_ as reference where one Menu item is present you might have followed according to it, but when you see other native applications like _Libre_, on press of Alt key all the Menu Mnemonics are toggled. It would be better to consider update the fix for all Menus.
