Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Please describe the problem:
Evolution does not honor the “Can change menu accelerators” setting for GNOME
applications. I happened upon a menu item that would be helpful to me in
working around bug 383543 and enabled the menu accelerator function so that I
could map a key combination to the “Post New Message to Folder” option,
however, when I restarted Evolution to make the setting take effect, I found
that it isn’t honored.
Just to be sure I cover my basis, other GNOME programs *do* honor the
setting, including the GNOME Help Browser, GAIM (which did not require
restarting), Evince (which also did not require restarting) and others.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Change the menu accelerators option in GNOME.
a. Enable “Editable menu accelerators” in “Menu and Toolbar Preferences” OR:
b. Enable “Can change menu accelerators” in “gTweakUI - Menus”
2. Try mapping any Evolution menu item to a new key by following the GNOME
procedure:
a. Hover over a menu option with the mouse (e.g., “Post New Message to
Folder”)
b. Press any key combination to attempt to make it work. No function key,
C- key, M- key, or combination thereof works.
3. Restart Evolution
4. Retry step #2 (to no avail).
Actual results:
Nothing; menu mappings in Evolution appear to be static.
Expected results:
I expect Evolution to respect my GNOME settings and not have static
accelerators mapped for the menu items; otherwise, the feature in GNOME itself
is of relatively little use to me.
Does this happen every time?
Yes.
