Hi,

Sounds like the F4 key may be bad.  That would mean that when you are
hitting Alt+ F4, all the system is seeing is the Alt key, which is
activating the menu bar.

I will be very curious if you encounter the same problem I have when using a
USB keyboard.  That is, the Jaws key does not work reliably every time it is
pressed.  That's the only issue I've seen when using a USB keyboard.
