I thought the problem was that the keyboard shortcuts weren't working, 
which usually implies a misconfigured key assignment in the text of the 
button (not it's script, the menu assignments.) But it sounds like 
you've figured it out.

LC menus are just buttons in a group and they follow the normal message 
hierarchy. So the menuPick in the button will trigger first, and if not 
handled, is passed to the menu group.
