Do you by any chance run WinXP? This is a general behaviour in far the majority
of programs running on my XP system.

However, the shortcut letters are marked OK when you use Alt+[Menu letter]
to access the menus. And they also also appear when you just press the Alt
button.

God and Micro$oft move in mysterious ways!

Under the display properties, click on the effects tab, and then uncheck the box for 'Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key.'

Ahaaa. That's was news to me!

But it works, and now the underlined letters are back. Nice. This setting
does not affect all programs, though - I noticed that for instance WinWord
and Netscape retain their shortcut underlinings no matter how this toggle
is set.
