I can reproduce this when menu access keys are enabled in GNOME-Terminal
and Alt+B is pressed. But from my experience, Alt+B seems to be the only
affected key.

Steps to reproduce:
Go to edit->Keyboard Shortcuts
Ensure that the first check box is checked
Go back to terminal, type "sudo apt-get install"
Press alt+b

Expected result:
Cursor should move to the beginning of "apt-get"

Actual result:
Cursor doesn't move at all.

Title:
  Forced menu visibility breaks keybindings in gnome-terminal

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Unity's interaction model design requires that any application which
  provides a menu bar, have that menu bar "displayed" at all times, in
  the top panel. For gnome-terminal, this breaks Alt-modifier
  keybindings which conflict with any of the menu's mnemonics. This also
  breaks the very visible option in a profile's preferences in gnome-
  terminal, to not show the menu bar by default, as well as the "Show
  Menubar" option on the right-click menu.

  This for instance, means that Alt+b cannot be used to go backward one
  word on the command line, as instead the Ta_bs menu is opened.
