Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
There are two options in GNOME Terminal that make no sense in Unity with the global menu bar:
- View > Show Menubar
- Edit > Profile Preferences > General > Show menubar by default
Whether the menubar is "shown" or not, it is visible at the top of the screen when hovered over like any other globalised menu. When the menubar is "shown" you can hold Alt and press V to get to the View menu for instance, but when it is "hidden" the keystroke goes to the terminal. But you can always move your mouse up there and click on it.
I can think of two solutions:
- One is to hide those two options when there's a global menu present (can the user still access the menu with the keyboard, I wonder?)
- The other is to just change the wording of the questions when there's a global menu available
