I thought I did, but I guess the entry didn't save, and somehow my copy
of the entry has the wrong entry anyway. The opening post has it
correctly and with the full string.

Title:
  Gnome menu items jumping up and down make clicking risky

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  0. I don't know the relevant circumstances about Wi-Fi networks being
  available and about the adapter's reception (I use a 2.4GHz USB
  adapter). This occurs mainly when I first try to get on a network,
  probably right after waking the machine from sleep and trying to get
  on a network.

  1. In the Gnome desktop environment's top panel, at the far right,
  open the menu. If Wi-Fi is off, turn it on. If it says Wi-Fi Not
  Connected, see if that line is appearing and disappearing several
  times.

  2. Try to select a command below that line, not a command that is
  exposed only by selecting Wi-Fi Not Connected but one below that, such
  as Settings. Because the network line is disappearing and reappearing
  in unpredictably rapid cycles, you may not want to click on a command
  below it (and risk clicking the wrong command) but merely position
  your cursor as if you intend to click it.

  Actual result: You can't be sure what you're going to click.

  Expected result:

  If a menu command must appear and disappear in unpredictable fashion,
  have it do so without everything below it in the menu jumping up and
  down.

  This can be managed by having the disappearing menu item be replaced
  by an unselectable blank menu item. Then, anything below would not
  jump. If the menu while it has a blank menu item is closed by any
  method, the blank menu item should be deleted. Thus, when the menu is
  opened later by any method, in the same login session or not, the
  blank menu item would not be included.

  Additional info:

  Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, kept evergreen, with Gnome desktop environment
  3.36.8 (still).

  The package was guessed from the list of process IDs. The string:
  gnome-shell 3.36.9-0ubuntu0-20-04.2

  I'm told that Gnome bugs have to be reported to a distro bug tracker
  first for proper component assignment, so I'm reporting here now.
