Global hotkeys are not working, when a context menu is open

[Robert Roth]

Steps to reproduce
1. Right-click somewhere to open a context menu
2. Press a global hotkey (e.g. Fn + Volume up/down, contrast up/down)
Expected behaviour: hotkey should work, volume should change/ contrast should change => notification should appear etc.
Current behaviour: nothing changes=> notification doesn't appear
Tried on Ubuntu 9.10 with all updates, libgnome 2.28.0-0ubuntu3.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

Could you please tell me where to find this bug, if it was reported before? Or mark this as a duplicate, because without this information, changing this bug to Invalid is not justified, in my opinion. Thank you in advance.

we get some thousand bug email a day at the moment so looking for number is not really an option, gtk needs to grab key events to get menus working that's a known issue and there is plenty of bugs about it, easy to find on launchpad or google search

bug #10905 is one of those
