emacs -Q

Press F10 to show the menu. It is not possible to navigate the popup
menu using the keyboard. This worked fine on

Can you see if 8784ebf is the culprit?  (On my platform, F10 in this
situation just invokes tmm-menubar, as it always did, so I cannot
debug this.)

No, it isn't. The previous revision also shows the problem.

Give an hour and I'll bisect the problem.

Could it be 76045f7, then?

It looks like a local problem. After building from scratch the same
revision that works on my installed Emacs (5293d1b) the new build shows
the problem, but the old installed build works fine. The only reason I
can think of is some library that is statically linked to Emacs and
changed on the last month, but the OS package manager's doesn't show
obvious candidates.

Strange.

Can anyone else reproduce the problem using Óscar's recipe?

This was five years ago, and there was no response.  I'm not able to
reproduce the problem, either, so I'm guessing that this is fixed, and
I'm closing this bug report.  (If anybody can reproduce the problem,
please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.)

How do you reproduce the problem, starting from "emacs -Q"?

As stated on the original report:

emacs -Q

M-x menu-bar-mode

Press F10, a popup menu is shown, press the cursor keys to navigate the
menu. The cursor keys (or any other keys I tried) have no effect.

emacs -Q
M-x menu-bar-mode
F10
<down>
<down>

works fine here.  The major difference I can see in the system settings
is that I'm using a Gtk build, but yours seems to be without.

Exactly. AFAIK the Lucid menu widgets are unrelated to Gtk.

FWIW, I see the problem intermittently.  Sometimes keyboard navigation
works, sometimes not.  This is running something a few days old from the
emacs-28 branch, using the Lucid toolkit.

I was going through some old Emacs bug reports and came across #22832.
This looks like it's the same issue as 57320/57518/58771/59733, which
was fixed in Emacs 29.

Thanks for the heads up. It works here too. Closing.
