Dear maintainers of GTK3,we received notification about a change in mouse click behaviour with GTK3 applets in mate-panel after upload of GTK3.14 to unstable.
Details, see inline below. On So 26 Okt 2014 00:35:42 CEST, Mike Gabriel wrote:

It seems that only GTK-3 systray applets are affected by the below: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

After a recent system update, clicking certain (redshift-gtk, NetworkManager Applet) notification icons requires a persistent click in order for the menu to remain open. Previously, all notification menus remained open on mouse up.
Confusingly, some icons now remain open on mouse up, for example Steam and MATE's PulseAudio volume control applet. I would expect all icons to behave the same -- either remain open on click (right or left click), or close on mouse up.

I observe this, too.However, my feeling is that it is related to the recent GTK3 version bump in Debian (to 3.14). Several GKT3 applets changed their mouse interaction behaviour...The changed occurred within the last two weeks or so. The issue is not mate-panel related, but depends on other things I currently lack to oversee.Any idea, what this bug can be reassigned to?
I carried this around for another day or two and came to the conclusion, that this needs to be discussed with the libgtk-3 maintainers.
Obviously, there has been a change in how systray applets get handled (mouse-wise) in GTK3.14. This change results in two classes of system tray applets. From a usability point of view, we as Debian maintainers should avoid this.
Unfortunately, with the GNOMEv3 desktop shell, the systray applets have been squeezed into some non-usable widget thing (it could be accessed at the right-bottom part of the desktop with wheezy, not tested with jessie, so far) in favour of appindicator implementations.
However, libgtk-3 is not GNOMEv3, so I would love to work together on a fix that provides some legacy systray applet mouse behaviour for non-GNOME desktop shells (I guess LXDE, XFCE, etc. are also affected by this, so I have Cc:ed them).
