I agree, menus should ignore keys that are not accelerators, or Esc/Enter. It is a general problem and is still open in bug 10905, so I think this should be a duplicate of that.

When i click on say, the System menu in the gnome-panel, it just doesn't work anymore. Note: this is in fact only a symptom of bug 10905 that states that no hotkeys/shortcuts whatsoever can be triggered when a menu is open. there seems to be a dispute if that is a bug or an intended design decision. thus bug 10905 and its duplicates always get closed. people seem to agree that not being able to take screenshots is not intended bahavior and considered a bug. thus this report is allowed to stay open :) a known workaround for taking screenshots of menus is to directly launch the screengrabber with a delay like so: gnome-screenshot --delay=5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-utils/+bug/29894/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
