[Bug 787465] Re: View->Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal

 

Please don't disable this...

When using gnome terminal, I like to move around the CLI using ctrl-f/b.
To do this, I need to turn off the menu, so that my keystrokes don't get
interpreted as menu commands.

This is the only reason I turn off the menu.

It doesn't matter where the menu is... I want it off so I can use
ctrl-f/b (and other keystrokes) to interact with the cli. Please don't
break this, because gnome-terminal is one of the best.


thanks,
Dan.

Title:
  View->Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal

Status in “appmenu-gtk” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  If you click on the global menus the View->Show MenuBar and (un)check
  it, it won't work, the menu will stay at the 'global menus panel' or
  whatever it is. In my opinion this option shouldn't exist now,
  considering that global menus are the future, and also considering
  that a global menu has the advantage not to keep its own space on the
  screen  :)

  WORKAROUND:
  1. sudo apt-get purge appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3
  2. Logout
  3. Login
