Bug Description

Applies to Gnome-desktop

Press:

 <alt>-F1

The menu opens.

Now press the key "G" two times, becuase you want to go down to "G"raphics.

Does the highlighted menu item move? Not much.

Reproducible? Every single time.

Annoying? Yes, very

I'm so sorry. It started working, so for me it's a sporadic problem.

The only time I got it not to work was when I had the menu open already then I did alt+f1, and each time that I repeat that same process I can't get it to repeat now anymore. Sorry.

Maybe put up dmesg, lspci, syslog, etc?
