Description:
In the menus, left & right arrow keys are backwards; the left arrow key selects the menu to the _right_, and the left arrow key selects the menu to the _left_.

How to repeat:
1. Press Alt-F, to select the Find menu.
2. Press left arrow key a couple of times.
3. Press the right arrow keys a couple of times.

Note that if the current menu item has a submenu (such as Tools > Configuration), the right arrow key correctly causes the submenu to fly out to the right.

Suggested fix:
Make the arrow keys work correctly.

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
