I observe that the menu access keys are correctly disabled if UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 is set in the environment, disabling the global menu to revert to menu bar drawn within the gnome-terminal window.
Therefore, I've marked the bug as also affecting unity, as it seems highly likely that at least some of the fix will need to be in Unity rather than gnome-terminal. ** Also affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282203 Title: gnome-terminal not respecting "Enable menu access keys" setting, inside the Unity desktop environment.
