Bug Description
gnome-terminal has a setting that intentionally stops Alt grabs for menus (Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Enable Menu Access), which I've always used to allow me to type "Alt-F" (and others) in my terminals. In the past, this always worked great, and I could type Alt-F in, say, mutt, to change my From address.
As of the latest uploads, I'm now reduced to the awkward Esc-F, because Alt-F brings up the file menu, no matter how much I wish it wouldn't. Pretty please fix this regression.
(I assume the same annoyance would be happening on my attempts to use Alt-[1-0] in irssi, if gnome-terminal had a menu whose shortcut was a digit, but thankfully it doesn't.)

The same has been happening to me for the past week or two – I can't switch layouts using alt+shift. Also, the same problem for custom shortcuts using Super.
