Menu key ineffective when navigating links with keyboard

[Colan Schwartz]

When navigating links with the keyboard, using the following method:

1. Ctrl-f
2. Entering the search term
3. Ctrl-g several times to get to the desired link

...the keyboard menu key does not produce the menu that comes us when right-clicking on a link. The menu key provides an accessible option for persons who don't wish to (or can't) use a mouse.

When a link is selected through keyboard navigation, the menu key should produce the menu.

I'd like to add that I tried disabling all my extensions, and the problem still persists.

Colan,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug in 2011 and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

This has been fixed.
