Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 17.10, something seems to have gone wrong with the keyboard
bindings for the application menus (File, Edit, View, Insert, etc).
Specifically, the first menu item cannot be opened using its assigned
shortcut alt+key combination.
In LibreOffice 5.4.1.2, I can use alt-E, alt-V, alt-H, alt-A (for
tAble). All of them work EXCEPT alt-F, which is the first one in the
list.
In Gedit 3.22.1 and Evince 3.26.0, it is the same. I can't use alt-F,
but I can use all the others.
Interestingly, in Pluma 1.18.2, everything is fine. Also, in Firefox
57.0 everything is fine. Also in Synaptic 0.84.2, which doesn't
integrate correctly with Unity, alt-F and the others work fine.
It seems that the 'modern' GNOME 3 applications are all failing, and
then also LibreOffice as well, which maybe is using GTK3 just like
GNOME3. Otherwise, I don't know.
I think this bug is not the same as bug #790687. That bug is just about
the case where the desktop is focussed, not other applications in
general.
