Mneumonics fighting dynamic shortcuts on 1.3.20

I think I found a little problem with assigning shortcuts on 1.3.20.

Try this: On an image window, click the "View" drop down menu. Now place the cursor over an item - I did "Shrink Wrap".

Now I type "f" to assign it as a shortcut key to "Shrink Wrap", but before the shortcut saves, the "Display Filters" windows (which has "f" as a mneumonic) comes up, and the keyboard shortcut is never assigned.

I can edit the 'menurc' file and set it there, but I'd venture a guess that this won't work for any other similar situations (could be quite a few).

Otherwise, 1.3.20 rocks my world. Eric Pierce

This is a known problem and there's a report about it on bugzilla. It has been reassigned to GTK+ but basically the ball is back to us. We will have find a way to disable mnemonics (temporarily?) or (better) add a menu shortcut editor. Perhaps similar to the menu editor in gnome-terminal (and probably other GNOME2 apps).

This is a know limitation of gtk+ (actually Simon stumbled across it at GIMPCon): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120034
