[Bug 1287343] [NEW] Application menu hijacks Alt+F, E, V, S, T, H keybindings in gnome-terminal

 

Public bug reported:

1. Enable the menubar in gnome-terminal
2. Go to Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts and uncheck "Enable menu access keys (such as Alt+F to open the File menu)
3. Type something in the shell, then go to the beginning of the line, and attempt to use Alt+F to navigate forward by word
4. Observe that the File menu triggers instead, even though it should have been disabled as per step 2.

Repeat the above steps running gnome-terminal like: "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0
gnome-terminal", and notice that the menu doesn't activate, and Alt+F
gets successfully handled by the shell.
