Alt key (mnemonics) not working

Hi. I am using Xnview V1.70 on Ubuntu Linux and I find it a great program. I have just one needling problem. For some reason my menu shortcut keys (or mnemonics) do not seem to work at all. For example, pressing Alt-F does not cause the File menu to drop down. Any suggestions or comments would be welcome. Cheers, Pat.

Hi. Sorry to bump this but I cannot believe I am the only one with the problem. Do others find it annoying? Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. Cheers Pat.

Thanks Pierre. I'm using the latest Ubuntu ver 6.06 "Dapper" and the Gnome desktop ver 2.14.1. Cheers, Pat.

Some success! This seems to be a bug in Motif, not Xnview. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=44582. I turned off Numlock and the menus behaved normally. Sorry to waste your time Pierre. Cheers, Pat.
