Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 896887

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[exokiller4]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11

After hiding the menu bar in the 64-bit Firefox 4.0b11, under Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64, when alt is pressed, the menu bar does not appear, as it would in any Windows version of Firefox. Of course, there is the simple workaround of not hiding the menu bar, but it seems fairly important that this is fixed before Firefox 4 rolls out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hide menu bar
2. Press Alt
3. Be sad when it doesn't appear
Actual Results:  
Menu bar does not appear.

Expected Results:  
The menu bar should appear until Alt is pressed again.

Ubuntu 10.10, X86_64, Firefox 4.0b11 64-bit version, default theme, GNOME 2.32.0, Linux Kernel 2.6.27.1

Considering that on Windows the menu is automatically displayed when pressing the "Alt" key, I think that this should also be true for Linux.
