...or bug 159773?
I'm still confused with how the accelerator changes relate to the shortcut changes in 24.2.

No, that was dupe of bug 159743, and was specific to German locale for excessive commits for COOL compatibility noted in comnt #3; Xisco has since reverted [1]

The <Alt> key (modifier MOD2) alone has an action matching F10 (depending on focus within the UI), or when paired with menu mnemonics to navigate via keyboard.

And bug 160075 noted that normal behavior had slipped btwn 7.6 and 24.2 but was restored at 24.8--reverse bibisect identified the missing condition and its fix has been backported [2].
