Thank you for your bug. That's a bug of the new GTK tooltip API and
known upstream already http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408327
** Changed in: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: gnome-panel = gtk+2.0
Importance: Undecided = Low
Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs
I am seeing this too. The tooltip for subsequent pulldown selections
displays at the location of the first tooltip you evoke. I tried the
Appearance option Nicolo suggested and it works as he says.
** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Confirmed
