[Bug 874572] [NEW] Alt+F, Alt+B, etc. open menubar items instead of moving cursor forward and back on current command line

 

Public bug reported:

What happens: Alt+F opens the "File" menu item and Alt+B shows the
menubar (but does not open any menu item, because no menu item
corresponding to that key combination exists).

What should happen: Alt+B moves the cursor back one word, and Alt+F
moves the cursor forward one word.

Before Unity, hiding the menu bar allowed these key combinations to work
as I expected. Now I cannot hide the menubar.
