Description Ahmed Shams 2011-10-20 19:40:57 UTC 
On behalf of gsiliceo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854155

This is a usability bug, you can't close a process with only the keyboard using the System Monitor.
1. Open system monitor
2. Hit down arrow to select a process
3. Hit alt+p to hotkey de End Process button
4. The Confirmation dialog opens.
5. Hit alt+e to select the confirmation End Process button
6. The Edit menu opens

Alt+e is the hotkey for the Edit menu and also for the button inside the confirmation dialog, you can of course use the key arrows to select the proper button, but still.

Proposed solutions:
Make that dialog modal, or change the Alt hotkey for the End Process button in it.

Works just fine here.
Comment 2 Chris Kühl 2011-10-21 21:02:05 UTC 
Not a problem for me either. The launchpad bug seems to indicate that this is a problem in "gnome applet global menu."

Thanks for the effort of filing a bug in any case.

Thank you for replying, actually I couldn't identify the 'gnome applet global menu' so I left it here, if anybody knows, please tell me where to move this report to? I'd appreciate it. Regards.
