Description Ilya Sher 2004-04-18 06:35:54 UTC 
Edit -> Keyboard shortcuts.
Click on one of the items.
Try to assign M-e or M-n for it.

It looks like keyboard is not fully grabbed
so M-e and M-n are used as accel's for the two checkboxes
on top of the dialog window.
Comment 1 Gintautas Miliauskas 2004-11-27 12:48:34 UTC 
There is a key in gconf, /apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_mnemonics, that you can
set to false to make your keys work as shortcuts.
Comment 2 Ilya Sher 2004-11-27 14:48:23 UTC 
Setting /apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_mnemonics to false
only affects the terminal window, not the preferences window.
The problem is not using the keys but setting them to be
shortcuts.

Still reproducible on trunk; bug in GtkCellRendererAccel.
