Description Matteo Drera 2011-04-12 00:24:05 UTC 
Open Menu bar menu with shortcut (<Alt>F1 by default) grabs keyboard focus and does not release it till mouse action is performed on Menu bar.

Step to reproduce:
* <Alt>F1 - Open "Applications" menu
* <Esc> - Close menu (or seems to close it)
* Try <Alt>F2 - Nothing happen
...
* Try <Alt>F1 again - Nothing happen
* Try everyone else shortcut - Nothing happen.
...
* Click on "application" menu, open and close it.
* Restart using your keyboard.

Moreover sometimes keyboard is totally unable to input text. For instance:
* start gedit and follow previous steps (until click on menu)
* instead click on gedit textarea (how many times as you want)
* occasionally there's no way to write something (till click-and-click on application menu)


This is an accessibility issue on Gnome 3.0.0 (Fallback mode)
