Where are your Focus scopes set? (I know we had a long discussion of this a while back. So maybe I'm not getting the problem.)

If your menu is in the same focus scope as the form the commands are just traveling back up the path to the menu item.

I think the wording I came up with was that the command travels the path to the item with keyboard focus in the focus scope of the form.
