Alt Key Doesn't Open Menu

[Fifteen15Studios]

I recently had to re-do my entire setup. I re-installed Raspbian and MM. When all is said and done, MM loads properly, all modules work, but pressing the Alt key doesn’t seem to do anything. I posted on Reddit but the only person to respond says that they experienced the same thing. Just like me, the Alt key worked fine until a fresh install. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

If it matters, it’s running on a Pi 3B, using pm2 to start MM. I also tried using the sample config file, and it did the same thing.

@Fifteen15Studios try alt-spacebar

[Fifteen15Studios]

@sdetweil That opened this menu

@Fifteen15Studios what menu were you talking about?

mm is a browser app, so that is it’s frame’s menu,
I have never seen anything else

[Fifteen15Studios]

@sdetweil It used to pop down the browser’s menu. With a File, Tools, etc. I could get it to show developer mode from that menu, and more.

@Fifteen15Studios I guess electron must have changed its behavior.

@Fifteen15Studios I see how to do the disable in code, but we don’t do that.

window.removeMenu()

I do not see any mention of changing the default behavior or how to enable it

[Fifteen15Studios]

@sdetweil It only seemed to happen with a fresh install. I had an older version installed that I just continuously updated for months and never had this issue. But with a fresh install, behavior is different. Maybe there’s something that changed in the install script that causes it?
