I just did a test in a virtual machine I have here.

Created a new user with adduser (as root, obviously), then logged with it, to a
fresh brand new XFCE desktop.

Launching term with default config F10 opens the menu, flagging the "disable
F10" option stops that, the F10 goes to the terminal window.

So I really have no clue what is going on in your system.

Just to be sure to clear all doubt, could you try the same procedure? creating
a new user takes a few seconds, and cleaning up after that also takes very
little effort (rmuser + delete home dir). This would completely exclude some
strangeness in your current user profile.


Other things to check, I'm not sure, but sometimes the display manager used (or
lack of it) can cause strange issues in Xorg, so I'm going to ask you what
display manager you're using.

Another thing to try, going to the xfce settings manager UI, try resetting
xfce-terminal settings to defaults, maybe restart your session (or just reboot)
and then try changing the setting again?

To be on the safe side, you could also try force reinstalling xfce4-conf,
xfce4-terminal and maybe dbus, then reboot (to be sure the new ones are
reloaded) and see if that was the cause of the problem.

My main suspicion is that something has got "desynced" on your machine.
Sometimes this kind of reinstallation/reset settings gymnastics gets things
unstuck.
