Must have happened when pointer styles were changed a month or so ago. Perhaps more of these accidental switches were introduced then.

The string in the original info text has changed from " Menu" to " Menu". Changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/53dfc2329ba9 fixes this for the doc browser.

This is a little hard to explain in words, but is visually simple.

In Octave 4.2.1, opening the GUI and then switching to the Documentation tab, will show the Table of Contents for all of the documentation. At the top of the Table of Contents is reddish text "Menu".

On the development branch, the text "Menu" is now light blue and is a hyperlink.

The problem is that the hyperlink leads no where and a user can get trapped by accidentally clicking on what looks like a valid link.

I don't know how recent the regression is, but it may be related to changes I made to convert single character standard strings to single characters.
