Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When the panel is full with launchers and/or applets, if you
(inadvertently) add another item, or if the screen is resized forcing
the panel to become smaller, the main menu may become inaccessible.
Icons that were to the right of the main menu have been moved underneath
it and are not visible anymore. However, clicks are sent to these icons
behind the menu, instead of to the menu.

For example, having a panel like this:

  Applications Places System icon1 icon2 icon3 icon4 etc.

After adding an icon for which there is no more room, or after the
screen is resized, icons are pushed to the left and the panel may look
like this:

  Applications Places System on3 icon4 etc.

(icon1 and icon2 are not visible any more; part of icon3 is also hidden)

When clicking on the System menu, the action associated with icon2,
which is "behind" System, is started. It is impossible to access the
System menu.

This happens in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.
