1. It is reproducible, but it doesn't happen very often, so there are no 100% reproducible steps that I've found. 2. When the bug occurs, it's usually when I'm logging on and off, either with one user, or with multiple accounts. For example, just yesterday, the bug occurred again when setting up a guest account on my laptop. After I tested the guest account, I logged back in as my primary user, and saw what appeared to be two volume control icons in my system tray (instead of one volume control and one network manager icon).
Here, I have to correct two statements in my initial report. 1) I had initially stated, "I can still click on the area where the icon should be, and it behaves normally." Well, when the bug occured yesterday, I realized that was not true. 2) I had initially stated, "The rightmost taskbar icon fails to display correctly (it appears to be displaying a bit of graphics from the element to its left)." When the bug occurred yesterday, the corrupted networkmanager icon was to the left of the volume control, but assumed the appearance of the volume control. So, it appears that the problem may not be with the panel after all, but with the network manager. As of now, here is my best guess as to what is happening: 1) Somehow the network manager is becoming unresponsive. 2) When the network manager's tray icon is to be drawn, the network manager never draws its icon, leaving whatever was previously in that place graphically still on the screen. I realize that this bug report isn't very good, and I apologize. I had too many assumptions in my initial report (and possibly in this one as well). -- taskbar icons corrupted after logging out and back in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
