Please check attachment #2 I just posted. This is what I see every time I close
a document.

Notice that the underlined accelerators/mnemonics are literally *everywhere*.

Also notice how the "Recent Documents" is highlighted, but nothing in the
actual list. Not even an outline or a hint that this is the active (focused)
area. For all intents and purposes, every time I see this, I think that the
"Recent Documents" entry is active, therefore if I press the "down arrow" key,
I should go to "Templates", and then "Writer Document".
Actually, I find it really annoying (not to mention counterintuitive) that the
left list is not working as one unit, but rather there are three distinct areas
and you actually have to [TAB], just to go from one area to another. This
should be **one** unit! I don't mind the separators, but at least the arrow
keys should allow you to move continuously!

Now, if "Recent Documents" is active, there should be some indication on the
right side too. And the underlines should be gone, since they don't work
(without [ALT]).
