Some questions about the menu class

I have a couple of questions about the menu-class in wesnoth.

1. When creating a dialog (or any other gui-element) with more than one menu, they all recieve the same key-events. E.g. down-arrow will change the selection for all menus. Is this a bug or am I just using them wrong?

2. Is there a way to hide a menu (and not make it handle any events)? It would be nice not having to destroy the menu each time it should disappear from the gui.l

(1) this is a problem that we will have to correct at some point if we are to have dialogs with multiple menus.

(2) Just don't call the draw() or process() functions for the menu and it won't be drawn.

Thanks for the answers

Just some additional questions about this:

(2) So if I want to hide a menu, I can just paint it over with something else and skip calling process() for this menu object?

What will happen when calling pump()? Wont the "hidden" menu stil recieve and handle the events and e.g. change which item is selected?
