Description Mashrit 2024-11-27 03:52:34 UTC

SUMMARY
In the system tray pressing alt underlines a letter in a button, but pressing the underlined button seems to do nothing
and in X11 the underline do not appear at all.

Also, some non text icons(such as gear, go back arrow, etc) have keyboard accelerator assigned to them which are not shown to the end user, these sometimes work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open any sub-menu of system tray(networks, bluetooth, etc)
2. press alt to see underlined letter
3. while pressing alt, press the underlined letter

OBSERVED RESULT
nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
button should be pressed

With git master, I actually don't see any accelerators at all. Can you attach a screen recording that shows exactly what you see?

Thanks for the recording!

This is probably a whole lot of small individual bugs unfortunately. Marking as confirmed since clearly something is wrong here. Needs investigation from people who care about mnemonics/alt key accelerators.
