From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040928 Firefox/0.10 Description of problem: When accessing the panel menus, it's nice to be able to start typing the first few letters of a menu item to be able to jump to it. The GNOME panel does in fact support this feature, but the user has to first pop the panel menu open and then activate one of the items before the type-ahead find works. As soon as the menu is opened, typing a character on the keyboard should initiate finding the menu item. Version-Release number of selected component: gnome-panel-2.8.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on a menu 2. Start typing 3. Note that none of the menu items gets activated Actual Results: The menu ignores the keys I press until I highlight one of the menu items. Expected Results: The menu should activate whichever menu item I start typing the string from.
Well, it works for me when I click on the main menu button, so do you mean: 1. Click on menu button 2. Navigate with mouse to open a sub-menu 3. Hit key, causes another sub-menu to be selected rather than a menu item in the sub-menu you've already selected If so, try the same thing with gedit's "View" menu - this is standard for all GTK+ menus. Or am I misunderstanding?
