I'd like to see this fixed for rtm because it's the very first menu item and 
it's a basic feature that should work.

ctrl+m works also.

I think the RTM portion of this bug might be to remove the item from the menu
since it's non-functional.  I would rtm+ that if people agreed.

rtm-, this isn't serious enough to get pdt approval.

marking dup of bug 58272, which has a 1-line patch.  I'm a little surprised 
that a one-line patch won't be taken to fix this.  Anyone else ever seen a 
highly visible, enabled menuitem such as this that just flat-out doesn't work 
in a major app?
