Until now I have not found out, in which case it would do the capitalization, and why it is sometimes the case and at other times not. I have also looked at my bookcase to see if I find a documentation about similar cases. But to no avail. So I will put this case to rest for now.

>English seems to be straightforward, but sometimes not really. Look at the VFP menu Edit > Go to Line. Why is "Line" capitalized and "to" not? The answer is probably, Because they know that the Germans are right, but don't want to admit it. Nouns should be capitalized.
I'd argue that software menus aren't English per se. They're tech talk using English words.
But this makes me realize that there is another piece of the rules. Words except tiny connecting words in headlines and titles are capitalized. That's probably the rule at play in the menu.
