There was a report during beta testing that menu lines which were
displayed in color showed the whole line in color, unless/until an
item was selected or unselected, in which case the '-', '+', or '#'
was rendered in monochrome. The suggestion then was to redraw the
selection character in color, but I went the other way. Menu
entries will render the selector letter and selection indicator in
monochrome all the time, and only the text of the menu entry will
honor menucolors.
