[Bug 597825] Re: Menu accelerators in Firefox and OpenOffice.org don't follow the GNOME policy.
IT is generally a good idea to file bugs only against a single package. It makes it easier on the Firefox maintainers not to have to keep bugs open despite having fixed the problem on their end because the OOo maintainers are still working on their fix. I'm editing this report to pertain only to Firefox since there is already an OOo report on the books. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Summary changed: - Menu accelerators in Firefox and OpenOffice.org don't follow the GNOME policy. + Menu accelerators in Firefox don't follow the GNOME policy. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox The current GNOME default is that menu accelerators are hidden, and shown when you press the ALT key. - Firefox and OpenOffice.org don't observe this policy and have their menu - accelerators displayed all the time. + Firefox doesn't observe this policy and have their menu accelerators + displayed all the time.

It's not out of the ordinary for Ubuntu to maintain a few patches the fix problems that upstream doesn't want to fix. Hiding the menu accelerators is what most of Ubuntu's default applications do, so it's not unreasonable for the user to expect everything in Ubuntu to do it. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597825 Title: Menu accelerators in Firefox and OpenOffice.org don't follow the GNOME policy. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well one obvious reason would be that neither of them are Gnome apps, they are both cross platform apps that use their own toolkit. It should be possible to modify them to work but it would probably not be trivial. And in the Firefox case you also have to get approval from upstream for any change made. :-\ -- Menu accelerators in Firefox and OpenOffice.org don't follow the GNOME policy. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597825 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
