This is not only pointless, but also preventing the user to be prompted should any of those options eventually become visible (e.g. by de-selecting the *_AUTO options the "visible" attribute was added for. Furthermore it is quite logical for the "visible" attribute of a menu to control the visibility of all contained prompts, which is what the patch does.
