Description Steve Rainwater 2012-08-09 13:54:08 UTC
After installing Fedora 17, I opened a gnome terminal window, clicked "edit" and then "keyboard shortcuts". I unchecked the two options labeled "enable menu access keys" and "enable the menu shortcut key F10". This is normal procedure for making the terminal usable in GNOME. However as of F17, the terminal is broken and unchecking these options doesn't really turn off the feature. Even with the those "features" unchecked, I still can't use the F10 key without GNOME interfering with my work by displaying some annoying menu over top of what I'm doing.

I can't describe how incredibly annoying this bug is as I have to work in terminals constantly.

I can provide screen caps of the problem or other info if needed.

I've filed a bug in RedHat's bugzilla in case this is something they broke in Fedora and not a bug in the original gnome-terminal source. 

It has a little more detail about the problem. Here's a link to the relevant RedHat bug for reference:

I've found a Debian bug report on this bug that dates back to gnome-terminal version 3.2.x. It's hard to believe the bug could have been present for so long without being fixed but, in case it's the same bug and helpful, here is a link to the additional report:
