Menus are showing underscores in the menu entries

[LordHog]

In VSC 1.25 there are underscores in the menu names. I think these indicate a letter should be underlined indicating it is a hotkey. I see this on CentOS 7 machine and not my Windows 10 machine. Need to check at home and see what Windows 7 shows.

@LordHog I couldn't repro this on my Ubuntu machine. I finally got around to installing CentOS 7 but still could not repro this issue. Can you provide more specific info on your centOS version and setup?

@sbatten, I see this is still present on 1.26. Should I remove VSC and re-install everything?

[sbatten]

@LordHog I have not yet diagnosed this issue, but this milestone I will be focusing on the mnemonics system in the custom menubar and will address this as well. Would you be able to check the dev tools to determine the fonts being loaded in the menus? If so, the trick to keeping the menus open in dev tools is opening the menu, then pausing the debugger. Thanks

[LordHog]

@sbatten okay, I may need a bit more hand holding. I did find the developer tools in the Help Menu and sort of stumbled to find the dev tools highlight sections in the dev tools pane, but I can't figure out how to influence the dev tools to show me the info for the submenu under the main menu items.

Ok, I found the div class for the menu items, but nothing I don't see anything about a font

@sbatten sorry, I am sort of all over the place as I experiment. I think the font being used is Segoe based upon this screen shot

[LordHog]

@sbatten I just downloaded and installed VSC 1.27 and the menus are back to normal now. No more underscores. I had notice when clicking on a menu item the drop down window would be very slow or wouldn't show up, unless I clicked multiple times, but the menus seem a bit more responsive. Still a little slow, but much better than before. Thanks to the team for fixing this.
