Unintuitive duplicate keyboard shortcuts in Pidgin's Add Account dialog

There's more to it than just that. The first time one enters information into the Add Account dialog and hits Alt+A, it changes to the Advanced tab. After that, Alt+A goes down to the first widget with a label beginning with 'A'. (e.g. with AIM protocol, "Always use..."; with XMPP, "Allow plaintext...") In order to even get to the Add button, one must repeatedly hit Alt+A to cycle through the widgets with the 'A' shortcut key, then hit Enter.

I don't know if this is a bug or an intended feature. I personally would not have chosen to do that if I had developed the UI. Alt modified keys should stick with tabs and buttons. Let the widgets inside remain without shortcut keys, or at the very least take lower priority than the tabs and buttons.

pidgin 1:2.6.2-1ubuntu7
Ubuntu 9.10

The shortcut for "Advanced " is now alt-v, but the triple A problem still remains (tried with AIM account)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Lucid or Maverick? Thanks in advance.

The latest Windows version (v2.7.3) still has this problem, I can't check Ubuntu right now.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Natty Narwhal. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Natty latest with 1:2.7.3-1ubuntu3.2

Still same: new AIM account, on the Advanced tab "A" is a shortcut for 3 items.
