Bug#626880: gnome-panel: gnome menu retains focus after launching applications via keyboard navigation

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 3.0.0.1-2
Severity: normal

I'm running gnome 3 on a system with an older intel graphics card
which i need to run in fbdev mode to avoid kernel/X11 lockup.  this
system therefore enters gnome 3 in fallback mode.

To launch a terminal from the keyboard, i use the following keystroke
sequence:

 Alt+F1
 DownArrow
 RightArrow
 UpArrow (until Terminal is highlighted)
 Return

As the result, a gnome-terminal window opens, but it does not have the
keyboard focus.

The keyboard focus appears to be retained by the Applications menu,
and i can't release it without using the mouse to click on
Applications or Places some odd number of times until focus goes back
to normal.

Feel free to reassign to a different package if it makes sense.

Regards,

	--dkg
