LIM Menu keyboard navigation is broken when mouse enters in new menu

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[Impact]
LIM Menu keyboard navigation is broken when mouse enters in new menu.

[Test Case]
1. Enable LIM
2. Open a window with menus (terminal) restored
3. Use the mouse to open a menu entry (or hit the accelerator such as Alt+F),
   then move the pointer over another menu
4. Use left/arrow keys (repeatedly) to navigate through menus now

Expected:
5. The menu navigation should properly work across the whole menubar

Actual:
5. Menu navigation stops and resets to the menu item where the mouse was

[Regression Potential]
Please make sure mouse navigation with LIM works properly.
