Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-06-06 19:38:27 UTC 
Based on my limited experience with the HIG, the go menu is meant for
navigational items(eg. go somewhere). 

In gnome-terminal go is being used for the mdi interface. This is
confusing. Instead gnome-terminal should use tabs (ala galeon1) or windows
(as stateted in the hig) but  i thinks tabs is better.
Comment 1 John Fleck 2002-09-19 14:08:00 UTC 
I don't understand this. You need to explain better. (Go now does use
tabs (next/previous) to navigate, so either it's changed since you
filed this or I don't understand what you're saying.)
Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-09-19 14:24:49 UTC 
go is for navigation (eg go up, forward, back) like in a browser
window. (see galeon) Gnome terminal is not a browser it has an mdi
interface. The go menu as used in the terminal is used to move between
the various windows in the mdi interface, not to navigate within a
single window, hence it should be called tabs or windows. (see the hig
section on menus if needed)
Comment 3 Marius Andreiana 2002-09-23 07:23:25 UTC 
Agreed with Bordoley. We used 'Tabs' on romanian translation, but that
could be Windows too.
Comment 4 Christian Kellner 2003-03-28 19:07:56 UTC 
The menu is still called "go" gnome-terminal version 2.2.1.
So I am changing the GNOMEVER keyword to "GNOMEVER2.2".
Comment 5 Calum Benson 2003-05-16 15:47:16 UTC 
I thnk this is basically covered (along with another bunch of menu
suggestions) in #76800, suggest closing as a dup.
Comment 6 Murray Cumming 2003-07-15 12:14:39 UTC 
Yes, closing as dup.
