Description Robert Ancell 2007-11-03 07:32:59 UTC 
Calling gtk_widget_add_accelerator() on a GtkMenuItem causes a '-/-' to be appended to the menu item label.

OS: Ubuntu Gutsy (libgtk2.0 2.12.0)
Occurs: Always
Expected behaviour: Appropriate text appended to label (e.g. Ctrl-0) or nothing appending to label.

Example program in PyGtk (expand window to see error, also works in C library):
---
import gtk
import gtk.gdk

window = gtk.Window()
item = gtk.MenuItem('GtkMenuItem')
accelGroup = gtk.AccelGroup()
item.add_accelerator('activate', accelGroup, ord('0'), gtk.gdk.CONTROL_MASK, 0)
window.add(item)
window.show_all()

gtk.main()
---

The label shows 'GtkMenuItem -/-'. I would expect it to be 'GtkMenuItem Ctrl-0'
