I'm not sure what you mean by "current menu". Just any game menu?
It's not a problem I have seen before.
Do you have a joystick connected? It may need calibration (there's something for that in the Windows configuration menu. At least it was on older Windows releases).
If you don't want to use a joystick in the game, you can disable it completely for UQM by editing keys.cfg (see here (http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/The_Ur-Quan_Masters_Technical_FAQ#How_do_I_use_a_joystick_or_game_pad.3F)) and placing a '#' in front of each line that mentions 'joystick'.

It's also possible that some key was stuck (or at least UQM thinks that some key is stuck). Some keyboards do weird things if you press enough keys at once.
