Adding *buttons* to *menubars* is certainly very odd. It may be that to activate the button the menu item must get focus first, hence the two clicks. My advice is to use a toolbar instead. It seems to fit what you are trying to do better and you can have tool items that act like plain buttons, toggles, radio button, that pop up menus, etc. Yeti _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
