Bug Description

Clean up to date install of ubuntu precise beta 2, with the latest unity-team ppa packages. Checkbox unity test stipulates that the following behaviour is expected:

1. Click on the desktop
2. Press Alt + F (or any accelerator corresponding to the "File" item in your language)
   -> Desktop menubar appears, first menubar item is selected and its menu appears

Actual behaviour:

1. Click on the desktop
2. Press Alt + F
  -> pressing alt + f has no effect at all.

Pressing alt + f10 does have the expected result of opening the first menu. Also, pressing alt + f10 in firefox causes the menubar to open at the first menu too.

Thank you for your bug report, do you use unity-2d or 3d? Is that issue new? Does it happen with any application?

When I filed the bug I was testing unity-3d. However, I have just checked
unity-2d, and the same buggy behaviour is present there too.

I'm afraid I have no idea as I have not been using unity until now.

I've not done an exhaustive search but the correct behaviour (i.e file menu
opening on pressing alt + f) occurs in a nautilus window, firefox,
gnome-terminal and libreoffice writer.

If there is any other information I can supply please let me know.
