Description Owen Taylor 2011-02-22 12:54:28 UTC 
From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676808 (Thomas Meyer)

When pressing Alt+Space the window menu is opened, but the action keys are not
underlined anymore (compared to the previous gnome version). But the keys still
work.

So pressing Alt+Space and then pressing M, minimizes the current window.

But pressing Alt+Space and then pressing the cursor down key, enables the the
underlining of the action keys.

The action keys should be underlined directly after pressing Alt+Space

[ original bug talks about Alt-Tab but Alt-Space clearly is meant and reproducible ]
Comment 1 Florian Müllner 2011-02-22 15:54:23 UTC 
I'm not sure that's a bug - the default value for the "gtk-auto-mnemonics" setting has been changed to TRUE, so this behavior is actually consistent with other GTK+-3 applications. Forcing the setting to off restores the old behavior, the question is if that's really desired ...

GTK+ menus show mnemonics when keyboard activated even when Alt is not down, and the mnemonics do appear when you arrow around, just not initially - it seems like a bug do me.

This menu doesn't exist anymore.
