[Andy Whitcroft]

I'm not sure we can consider this bug fully fixed: shortcuts do work, but there's no visual indication when you press Alt (i.e. the letter that would open the menu does not become underlined).

[Alex Launi (alexlauni)]

A regression has occurred, and this bug is back.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Fix in current Natty, setting ubuntu task to 'fix released' too.

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Reopening, the bug is back in 3.8.10-0ubuntu2.

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Okay, so for some reason, although nothing Unity related got upgraded, I can't reproduce this bug. I'm closing it again then. Sorry for the noise.
