I have this problem too and it's driving me nuts. I see other bug
reports (eg. #809500) which say that selecting and then deselecting
"show menubar" hides the menu at the top of the screen for gnome
terminal, thus making these key combinations work, but if that ever
worked before it doesn't for me now.

Title:
  Alt+F, Alt+B, etc. open menubar items instead of moving cursor forward
  and back on current command line

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
