Description Zdenek Kabelac 2011-10-13 08:36:37 UTC

Description of problem:

When I run 'mc' and I press the key F10 to get the quit question dialog for midnight commander  I get also a wm menu windows opened as well - and pressing 'enter' usually leads to opening a new g-t window (since I do not expect wm menu window opened and I activate new terminal option through this).

This used to work without a problem since I've not enabled
menu shortcut in keyboard shortcuts g-t options.

Now it doens't matter in which state this toggle button is,
there is always wm menu window.
When toggle button is in enable mode - 'mc' doesn't get F10 key
(and one has to use  Esc+0  to get  quit query dialog).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-terminal-3.2.0-1.fc17.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 'mc'
2. press F10
3.
  
Actual results:

mc shows quit query dialog, and wm menu is displayed as well.


Expected results:
only 'mc' quit dialog being shown.

I have exactly the same issue on Gentoo linux with gnome-terminal.3.2.1 .
I think this is a general GTK issue as F10 opens the menu in all GTK applications, even though I have set 

/desktop/gnome/interface/menubar_accel

in gconf-edit to something else than "F10" ("Ctrl-Shift-M" in my case), but this setting seems to be ignored. Is there already a solution / related bug avaible?

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Zdenek Kabelac 2012-01-13 10:32:57 UTC

This problem is still present with:

gnome-terminal-3.2.1-3.fc17.x86_64

Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2012-02-14 01:03:49 UTC

gnome-settings-daemon is using gsettings for its backing storage nowadays, not gconf anymore. Try

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface menubar-accel "F12"

or something like that

Hmm - tried - no help

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface menubar-accel 
'F12'


And just a side comment - you can't be really serious this now 'the Gnome path' to properly configure  gnome-terminal to allow users to use F10 key right ?

This  bz is getting quite old and with:

gnome-shell-3.3.90-2.fc17.x86_64
gnome-terminal-3.3.0-1.fc17.x86_64

I'm still not able to get usable F10 key inside terminal (i.e. to quit 'mc')

Comment 7 Pavel Stehule 2012-05-04 18:09:58 UTC

There is probably wrong handling of functional keys - because when I press F10, then gnome-menu is showed and mc dialog is showed too.I would to previous behave - when terminal-menu is active, then F10 is handled by terminal menu, and when menu is invisible, then F10 is handled by appliacation executed in terminal. Because mc is important application, then this bug is very important for me.
