Using Gimp 2.6.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Linux. on K Desktop Environment 3.5.10
I would like to check with others whether or not these issues are unique to me, my installation, or my desktop environment.... If they are bugs, I will report them or others are welcome to do so (but please tell me if you do). 1) Missing mnemonics on menus. For example, under FILE, "Create" has no labeled mnemonic. 2) Duplicated mnemonics on menus. For example, under EDIT, the letter "p" is used ***THREE*** times, making it useless in a production environment. As long as the same image is open, doing "ALT e p" cycles through the the three occurrences of the "p" mnemonic. If it is the first time with the image, then it always goes to the first occurrence. Very obnoxious! 3) Misdirected mnemonics. (This one may be a lack of understanding of menu mnemonics on my part.) "ALT e p" [!!! may have to hit "p" multiple times to arrive at the correct desired location of PASTE AS] to get to PASTE AS. This exposes the fly-out/sub-menu. The sub-menu includes NEW IMAGE with a mnemonic of "n". However, typing an "n" at this moment does not utilize the fly-out menu, it goes to UNITS on the main EDIT menu. What is the point of having a mnemonic on the flyout/sub-menu if you can't access them without using the arrow keys to get into the flyout/sub-menu by which time you are focused on the desired item anyway and can just hit return. 4) Non-functioning keystrokes / keyboard shortcut listed on the menus. Specifically for me at the moment, "CTRL SHIFT V" is supposed to create a new file from the clipboard contents. This set of keystrokes is stated in TWO places: FILE, CREATE, FROM CLIPBOARD and EDIT, PASTE AS, NEW IMAGE Both should accomplish the same thing, but on my system, it does nothing at all. This is really annoying because tomorrow I have to have a staff member use this functionality 297 times. Argh! (Yes, I know that as long as we use keystrokes to get to the menu, we can "walk" though it using the arrow keys. It is just annoying.)
