Mnemonic display in GTK menus

Previously, GTK menus would underline the character in each menu item corresponding to the key that would invoke it.  I understand (from https://fossies.org/linux/gtk+/NEWS) that this functionality was removed as of version 3.9.8 of GTK, which was released several years ago, but I'm pretty sure I had this functionality until quite recently, when it disappeared.  I regard its removal as a retrograde step.  Is there a known way to restore the functionality?  If not, what would be the best route to petition the GTK developers to restore it?

Aren't those still displayed if you press the ALT key?

No, unfortunately they're not.
