Annoyance with alt-file -> save under linux mint

[Gibbon1]

I have an issue with codelite under linux mint

To save a file I hit alt-f then 's' as in save. Works as expected under windows 7.

Under linux mint when I do that the 'New' menu gets instantly expanded to show 'New Empty File' etc. So of course hitting 's' for save doesn't work.

Any idea why this happens? Trey annoying.

This sounds like a wxWidgets issue, (the entire menu management is done via wxWidgets)

Also: whats wrong with Ctrl-S to save a file?

Kinda what I thought. (trying to google: 'alt file save wxwidgets' wasn't very enlightening)
I'll go grep the wxwidgets mailing list.

Habituation!
