Description beroal 2011-10-15 00:38:19 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
* Launch gnome-terminal.
* Go Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts, UNcheck "Enable the menu shortcut key (F10 by
default)."
* Press F10.

Actual results:
The context menu of gnome-terminal is brought up below the mouse pointer. The character "~" is printed in the terminal.

Expected results:
Nothing.

If gnome-terminal runs Midnight Commander, Midnight Commander also reacts to F10. This bug is introduced in versions >2.30 and <=3.2. Bug #567339 looks similar.

F10 is not supposed to show the context menu; that's what usually happens using Shift-F10. Are you using ubuntu's global menu, perhaps? If so, try without, and try to repro using either metacity or gnome-shell (unity is NOT supported).

Comment 3 beroal 2011-10-17 12:46:37 UTC 
I am using Arch Linux. Shift-F10 has no effect at all on "gnome-terminal". Though I never used this key combination.
metacity 2.34.1-1
python-metacity 2.32.0-8
xkeyboard-config 2.4.1-1
No "gnome-shell". Should I run "gnome-terminal" without other Gnome programs, in a clean Xorg?
Comment 4 beroal 2011-10-17 13:01:11 UTC 
After downgrading "xkeyboard-config" to 2.2.1-1, "gnome-terminal" responds to F10 with no menu and with "~" and to Shift-F10 with the menu and ";2~"!

But is the garbage ";2~" supposed to be?
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2011-10-17 13:12:19 UTC 
Yes, when the UI isn't handling these keys they're forwarded to the app running in the terminal; bash just doesn't do anything with them.
