Updating this report for Ubuntu 18.04. I made a new install of Ubuntu 18.04 and switched to the Unity shell.
LibreOffice: can't use ALT+F to access the File menu. ALT+E (etc) work fine; just not ALT+F. Terminal: nothing seems to allow me to enable the ALT+F etc mnemonics in Gnome Terminal. Seems to be a separate bug. Synaptic: works perfectly; it is not integrated with the Unity menu. Thunderbird: works perfectly; it is integrated with the Unity menu correctly. Firefox: also works perfectly. Rhythmbox: as with LibreOffice, all the shortcuts work except for ALT+F (the first menu is not responsive, even though the 'F' in 'File' is underlined, just as for LibreOffice. Gedit: as for Rhythmbox, LibreOffice: ALT+F doesn't work. Pluma: works fine, except that ALT+F menu appears in the wrong place!! Appears in the top-left corner of the window instead of near the menubar. @kurshid-alam: note, all of these apps *DO HAVE* menubars, all of which *DO APPEAR* when I type ALT. The only issue here is whether the displayed mnemonics are actually enacted or not. @kurshid-alam: This issue was not present in Ubuntu 16.04, so I don't think it can relate to the 5-year old patch that you mentioned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734817 Title: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1734817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
