Keyboard shortcuts relating window position and size

Consider the attached screenshot. It suggests that pressing the letters n and x should minimize and maximize the window. In reality, N and X, that is capital n and capital x, do that. Not small caps n and x.

4.2.1 menu italian GUI

just to point out that to see that menu you have to right click on LibO blue top bar.

anyway I've tried with LibO 4.2.1 with italian GUI and I have no underlined letters to allow me to hit keyboard shortcuts so I cannot test your reported issue. (see my screenshot)

would you please tell me which exact Windows version do you run and if you remember that that was working in previous LibO releases?

Notepad menu relating to window position and size

1. Here, with most application, not necessarily LibO, when the application window is in focus, pressing alt+space, simultaneously, also brings up that menu. Also here, I have to left click on the blue bar to get it. Not right click. Right clicking only brings it up when the mouse points to the application logo, at the left upper corner of its window. Perhaps the right or left clicking is an issue of right handed or left handed configuration.
2. In any case, I can see that menu, with the underlined letters, in almost any application. Attached the notepad example. I don't recall configuring XP explicitly to have that feature. Perhaps this is because I am basically using an English version of XP. I wonder whether, for example, alt+C is the same as alt+F4 for your Italian version, even though this is not noticeable. 
3. I am using XP home edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, OEM. Its main language is English. I don't remember what happened in the past. I think it was the same as now. I used to think this is common to most Window applications, dated long ago. Not particularly to LibO. And also to other Window versions such as XP professional, and older Windows system.

These accelerators keys (and strings) are not LibreOffice ones but depends on your OS (mine for example depends on Gnome). So closing as not our bug - Sophie
