Also Alt-letter combinations such as Alt-F to show File menu does the same thing (menu shown on both screens). Is this the same bug?

I can't reproduce that here, @Colin can you confirm that it's still happening for you?

No I cannot reproduce this any more. However I do see other problems with F10. I have not looked to see whether these are already reported as separate bugs.
1. The only app I can find that F10 works for is Firefox. With Nautilus and gedit for example F10 does nothing (it works on Unity-3D).
2. With FF in dual screen mode F10 pops up the menu but the first time it pops up it is usually half way down the screen on the left hand side. Sometimes this recovers after a couple of goes. Clicking off to a different app and back to FF seems to cause the problem to re-appear.

Yeah, so, 1. is most probably bug #849732, 2. is not limited to dual screen. Thanks!
