A bit of info on this one. The menu coming back appears to be fixed with trunk versions of dbusmenu. But the "nothing happening" bug is still there.
As best as I can tell, this is because the menu dismisses upon being clicked and sends a dbus message to empathy telling it which item got clicked. But at the same time, empathy is receiving a focus-in event, which causes it to recreate its contact menu. By the time it processes the dbus message, the item which got clicked no longer exists, so it is ignored. In other words, a race condition. Thinking about how to fix it... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729191 Title: Empathy - 'Contact' menu items dont work in chat window -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
