Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Hi, I find keyboard navigation of the main application menu a bit confusing. After opening it with Alt+F1 and typing `p' it is not the Programming sub menu that opens, as I would have guessed. Instead it is the Places top menu (on my system the one to the right of the Applications menu). When the Places menu is opened focus is given to the top menu item there and I can type other keys to activate sub menus. The same goes for the System top menu. I found this illogical. Shouldn't the focus be at the top item of the Applications menu when I activate it? If not, why, and how am I supposed to activate menu items under it without using the cursor keys? I also tried using `a' to activate the Applications menu but that did not work, nothing happens. This is not consistent with `p' and `s' working for the Places and System menus. If `a' activated the Applications menu the behavior would be okay I guess. Look at the attached image. It is this I see when doing Alt + F1. I am running Ubuntu 7.10.
