I think what you are observing are different keyboard shortcuts, not the
same one.

Pressing the ALT key (in the situations you mention) sets the system focus
to the menu bar. In fact, pressing F10 will do the same action. Then if
you press the access key associated with the menu bar item, that menu will
appear.

Its just a different way to accomplish the same thing as pressing ALT + F.
