Confirmed with 2.11.6

But it's not just the "A". It's "R" as well, if you have several criterias or actions.

So should the mnemonics be abolished due to the fact that you would simple run out of letters after 5 rules or criterias, or should it be the way, that you can switch through the buttons with pressing the shortcut multiple times? The latter is the way it works right now, which I think is pretty handy.

It is indeed impossible to add individual mnemonics to the remove buttons, as they are dynamically generated.  It is also at the moment impossible to fix the conflict on the "A" mnemonic, as both buttons appear to be GTK stock add buttons.

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2009-02-11 04:38:50 UTC 
Add buttons are fixed, Remove buttons are not.  Adjusting summary.
Comment 5 Milan Crha 2015-04-03 11:09:47 UTC 
I'm closing this, I prefer the "feature" of being able to press the mnemonic multiple times and cycle between the Remove buttons, rather than not being able to access them without the mouse. As said above, the content of the dialog is partly generated on the fly, thus there is no option to also assign the mnemonics on the fly (think of translations and possible other clashes).
