Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30512
Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Swap the position of the two panels, so that the menu bar (Application-
Places-System) on the bottom panel.
Click to open the menu (e.g. click "Places").
If the menu icons were not loaded in memory, Gnome places the menu too
close to the bottom of the screen, so only a fraction of it is visible,
and I have to scroll to see all the items. This looks very wrong since
there is plently of space in the screen: the menu ought to have appeared
at a higher position.
I believe the reason for the problem is the following. If the icons are not
loaded, Gnome computes the menu height ignoring the icons, i.e. considering
only the text height. And it chooses a menu position that is correct with THAT
height. Then, when the icons are loaded, the menu height increases, but Gnome
does not update the menu position, so the menu ends up too low and gets
truncated.
I am using dapper, but this happens on breezy too.
