Just updated the description since it seems I can reproduce the bug more consistently now when rolling over the first menu panes (without interfering with the right-click triggered 2 panes)
** 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. adding a tray menu) opens without highlighting either of the choices + 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. Logging out and back in doesn't even restart it. + 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 most of the system is unusable unless - you can work around thru desktop documents/launchers. + 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). + Note: it is important not to click elsewhere before the intermediate menu disapears, and just roll over the first 2 menu panes. -- gnome-panel freeze on cascading contextual app-launcher menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
