** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I found this bug yesterday (up-to-date Lucid beta1 64bit) while right-
clicking to try and remove directly some apps from the Gnome panel
Applications menu (wishlist: menu-editor shortcut via contextual menu).
To reproduce:
1. Open the Applications menu
2. Open Graphics sub-menu (for instance, this is how I did and reproduced it
but suspect it can work with any)
3. Chose an app launcher - I chose "Simple scanner" - and right click for
contextual menu
4. Click so that one of the last contextual menus (i.e. Add as tray/menu)
opens without highlighting either of the choices
5. wait for a couple of seconds with the whole cascading opened
(Appplications/Graphics/app context menu/add tray) and no final selection made
There it is, gnome-panel freezes. You can no longer use it.
Very annoying: the Gnome Applications menu is frozen and always on top.
Very very annoying: Alt+F2 launches gnome-application-control (Launch
application) but it is frozen so I needed to lanch system-monitor to
restart gnome-panel.
+ UPDATE: reproduced with other menu launcher (OOo Writer for instance).
+ It seems that and the rolling the mouse over the main (Applications)
+ menu can cause the intermediate menu (Graphics, Office...) to close and
+ thus "break the chain" with the still-opened contextual menu (two 'Add
+ as' panes).
- UPDATE: reproduced with other menu launcher (OOo Writer for instance). It
seems that and the rolling the mouse over the main (Applications) menu can
cause the intermediate menu (Graphics, Office...) to close and thus "break the
chain" with the still-opened contextual menu (two 'Add as' panes).
Note: it is important not to click elsewhere before the intermediate menu
disapears, and just roll over the first 2 menu panes.
+ First the highlighted choice in pane #2 (after the main #1 Application pane)
will disappear,
+ Then, back on the main pane menu, #2 will disappear altogether. Freeze should
be noted exactly there (if you click on #2 before it disappears it just
highlights another app-launcher and the bug doesn't occur).
