Re: Is this an MFC bug?

Nice workaround. But there is also room for improvement, in order to reduce code duplicates this workaround can be inserted only once in your main application class derived from CWinAppEx, e.g.:

class CApplication : public CWinAppEx { ... };
extern CApplication theApp;

.....

BOOL CApplication::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) {
    BOOL handled = FALSE;
    if(WM_SYSCOMMAND == pMsg->message
        || WM_KEYDOWN == pMsg->message
        || WM_CHAR == pMsg->message) {
        CMFCPopupMenu* activeMenu = CMFCPopupMenu::GetActiveMenu();
        if(nullptr != activeMenu) {
            activeMenu->SendMessage(pMsg->message, pMsg->wParam, pMsg->lParam);
            handled = true;
        }
    }

    if(!handled) {
        handled = __super::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
    }

    return handled;
}

Cheers
