This is only GTK3, the space bar doesn't work in GEN nor GTK. @Caolán, should we disable the spacebar action in GTK3 as GEN and GTK do ?
checking gtk3-demo the example menus there update their state on spacebar, I guess we're missing something there to do that too
yeah, correct way to do this is probably quite a bit of work, but deactivating the menu hierarchy regardless of what got activated is easy. Won't do anything in the unity case though, but that's a goner I think.
