Bug#314419: openoffice.org: Please have option to disable "ALT selects menu" behaviour
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.4-3
Severity: normal
If you use a window manager that has bindings for ALT-mouse (say, ALT
left mouse moves current app to front), then openoffice takes that to
mean I want to select the menubar. I have to press ALT again, to
deselect the menubar, which really stuffs with my workflow, and can
end up doing unexpected things if I am typing ahead.
Since this is a windows like behaviour, and I am using Linux so as not
to have to put up with Window's annoying behaviours, I would like the
ability to not have this happen. No other linux app has the behaviour
of selecting the menu upon the press of ALT. Please let me turn off
that behaviour in openoffice too.
Thanks.
