SYMPTOMS

When you are using a program that uses underlines to denote hotkeys for menu items (for example, pressing ALT+F in Internet Explorer opens the File menu), you may notice that the underlines do not appear until you press the ALT key. This does not affect the hotkey functionality of the program in use.
