Keyboard access to me menu in Unity? -- lacks front-to-back cycling

[Evan Huus]

Did a little more testing: even stranger. If I have a truly menuless
app open (like Update Manager), then F10 does focus the first
indicator as you mentioned, Jason. In that case I have right-to-left
wrapping, but not left-to-right wrapping.
