More than a year later this bug is still very prominent in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Half a year ago a fix was committed but hasn't reached the repositories yet ???
(not even in "proposed" or "backports")
If this turns out to be a "won't fix/can't fix for 12.04" situation it might
be wise to adopt the following workaround officially
(since it is better than nothing at all):
#-------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p ~/.config/gtk-3.0
cat<<EOF > ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
@binding-set NoKeyboardNavigation {
unbind "<shift>F10"
}
* {
gtk-key-bindings: NoKeyboardNavigation
}
EOF
#--------------------------------------------------------------

Bug description:
[Impact]
F10 behaves the same as Shift-F10. This causes menus to pop up incorrectly.
[Fix]
Upstream patch preserves Shift so that Shift-F10 and F10 act as separate keys.
[Test Case]
1. Open a gnome-terminal window
2. Run aptitude
3. Press F10
Expected behavior: Aptitude's menu opens
Broken behavior: Menus for both aptitude and gnome-terminal are shown.
In different window environments (e.g. unity) other menus can be
triggered than should be.
[Regression Potential]
The patch simply changes a keyboard layout config file, so the severity of
any possible regression would be limited to keyboard configuration
misbehaviors. This is a well reviewed, tested patch from upstream and not
expected to have any regression.
[Original Report]
Upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661973
Visible in Unity - change keybinding for opening first global menu
entry to Alt+F10.
Pressing F10 triggers short flash of global menu nevertheless. When
you disable the F10 shortcut in gnome-terminal, pressing the key
triggers context menu in gnome terminal.
