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

 

@Dan Bolser: Gnome Terminal uses only Ctrl+Alt+* shortcuts, so Ctrl+F/B
should work normally, and menu presence should not matter. If any Gnome
Terminal shortcuts conflict with bash/mc/… ones, please file a separate
bug.

I personally can't see why this is a bug in appmenu, it works as
expected here. What *is* an issue here is presence of "Show menubar"
option, which is confusing for Unity users.

I'm marking it back as affecting gnome-terminal, as we should just hide
that option for Unity users (it does nothing, and it can't do anything
because the menu is never shown locally).

** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed

** Changed in: appmenu-gtk (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Invalid

** Description changed:

  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
