Fixed. The fractional display is shown in both cases. Is that okay or, if it's 
yes, should just the single number be shown?

The problem here is that some displays just have TOP_LEFT/BOT_LEFT or just have 
TOP/BOT, and, of those, especially the older drivers, some don't have 
menu-specific bindings. For this reason, it's probably better to leave TOP_LEFT 
as go to first item. We could, though, introduce a menu-specific command for 
leaving a submenu and then create a menu-specific binding to it for those 
displays where it makes sense.

I can't reproduce this one.

The more, the better. It'd be nice to have it working as well as possible for 
4.4, which I'd like to release soon.
