CodeBrowser focuses on menu bar after releasing forward/back hotkey (containing `alt`) #6654

Describe the bug CodeBrowser focuses on menu bar after releasing forward/back hotkey (containing alt)

To Reproduce Navigate in the disasm view such that location history will be populated. Use alt+ left arrow, right arrow to navigate back and forth through the history. Note that sometimes, releasing the alt key results in focus being transferred to CodeBrowser's File...Edit...Analysis...etc menubar (the cursor in disasm view will be lighter color, and text in the menubar will have hotkey characters underlined). -> need to hit esc or alt again to return focus to disasm view.

Expected behavior Focus does not leave original window view.

Environment (please complete the following information):

Additional context This is not a new problem (not related to recent focus changes).

I tried this on Linux, Mac and Windows. Windows is the only OS I see the the problem on. I'm investigating the issue more.

Workarounds:

1) You can remap the keybindings to not use the Alt key.

2) You can change the Look and Feel by switching themes from Edit -> Theme -> Switch...

The Nimbus LaF and the Metal LaF both do not have the issue. Some of the other non-Windows LaFs seem to still use the Alt key to activate the menu.

Thanks, for the time being I'm using the Metal LaF workaround.
