When a Drupal System Message is displayed on a page, the Keyboard Shortcut to show Admin Menu has no effect. This is especially confusing for Newcomers, since they might think something is broken.

Only a page reload (which makes disappear the message) helps out with this.

Should not be too hard a fix.

Hi eigentor,

It's a strange issue that you're having, and I highly doubt that it's a common issue. A message being displayed on the screen is simply adding HTML which would have no effect on the Admin Menu or the Dropdown javscript. It's likely that either your theme or another module is somewhat effecting the system messages with something other than just plain HTML.

Either way, all work on Admin Menu Dropdown is being halted in support of merging the functionality into Admin Menu via this issue: #226012: Merge Administration Menu Dropdown module

If you are still having the same issue after applying the patch then report back so I can further determine the cause.

Cheers,
Deciphered.

@eignetor
I think that this has nothing to do with the messages, but is related to #505478: Toggle hide shortcut not working. 6.x-3.0 should fix this.
