Public bug reported:
Affects: gaim (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
gaim 2.0beta3:
When changing status with the pulldown-menu gaim tries to position the dropdown
menu in such a way that the current status comes under the mouse-pointer. If
the window-bottom is low, half of the status menu will be drawn off-screen, and
you first need to scroll.
Upstream bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=235&atid=100235&func=detail&aid=1414923
has been closed, because they give a workaround: take
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gtkrc-2.0 as your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 . This makes the
pulldown menu become a list (? i'm not into gtk) and that's always drawn
upwards.
Can't gaim-upstream implement it in such a way that the list is always used for
this functionality? The bottom of the gaim-window-list will very often be too
low to display the dropdown menu, so the dropdown-menu seems inappropriate in
it's current gtk-implementation.
If it can only be solved in .gtkrc: should ubuntu ship the proposed .gtkrc-2.0
? Don't know how that influences other apps.
(I'm not willing to make a bugzilla account for each and every gnome
app, and Ubuntu decides what .gtkrc-2.0 it ships, so I report in
launchpad)
