I have been inserting debugging in formation and here is a trace that I am getting when I click on the Skype entry in the indicator applet. For some reason, whenever the items in a menu change, then all items of the menu are removed and then inserted again. For Skype this seems to happen every single time I open the menu. When I open other menu items such as bluetooth or Ubuntu One, then the entries are not removed and inserted. But the menu simply opens. However I can reproduce the same phenomen with network-manager. When I open the menu and then pull the network cable I can see how all items get removed and then re-inserted.

This explains the 22px size difference between the first and last size_allocate call. I have not measured this, but it seems the menu is painted with a height of 356px while at the end it has 378px thus requiring scrolling. Note that the menu is a member of 'IndicatorObjectEntry' (from libindicator) and indicator-applet has no control over adding or removing entries. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965953 Title: Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen bottom Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Invalid Status in Indicator Applet: Confirmed Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The indicator applet, installed by default in classic session of Precise, appears with just some up and down scroll arrows, and I have to scroll down before it fills in and shows the 3 items, and then the scroll arrows disappear.
