Motif 2.3.4 includes a fix for upstream bug #1565 (The active window changes to inactive when the drop down list is clicked) [1]. A side-effect of this fix is that keyboard navigation of menus does not work correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
Install and run xball (or any other Motif application with a menu bar).
Click on 'File' in the menu bar (or press Alt-F).
Now press Left Arrow or Right Arrow and the highlight should move left and right through the horizontal menu options (File, Actions, Options and Help).
Now press Up Arrow, Down Arrow or Enter and nothing happens.
