Description devsk 2003-08-30 18:21:53 UTC
Created a drawer in the top panel.
Added a launcher. It could launch.
Added few more launchers to the drawer. It could launch them all once
one-by-one.
Rolled up the drawer. Rolled it down. Launchers no longer launch. Its as if
the drawer panel is empty. Right clicking gives the panel menu instead of
the launcher properties menu.

Upgraded to 2.3.6.2. Same behaviour. 2.3.7 doesn't have a change which
comes close to this issue.
Comment 1 devsk 2003-08-30 20:08:12 UTC
Can somebody verify this issue?

Some more issues about panels:

For every drawer I create, it creates a directory in
.gconf/apps/panel/toplevels but doesn't delete it when I delete the
drawer. Similarly, objects(in .gconf/apps/panel/objects) and the
launchers(in .gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers) for these are not
deleted. After some time its a mess.

PS: raising to critical because during a delete and create drawer
cycle, panel crashed.
Comment 2 Bryan Forbes 2003-09-04 16:45:04 UTC
I am able to reproduce this bug on gnome-panel 2.3.90 (cvs HEAD). 
Here are the steps to reproduce it:

1. add a drawer to your panel
2. add 4 launchers to your drawer
3. reset the panel (I do pkill gnome-panel in a terminal)
4. the drawer should be open when the panel comes up again; click the
third launcher in the drawer
5. open the drawer back up and click on the first launcher
6. open the drawer back up and try to click on the third launcher again

I am downgrading this to major.  If you have a stack trace for the
crash, please provide this in a new bug and make that critical,
because the crash doesn't have to do with the behavior exhibited by
the drawers.

Comment 5 Toni Willberg 2003-09-15 11:53:10 UTC
gnome-panel-2.4.0-1 has this too (Bug 122319)
Comment 6 George Lebl 2003-09-16 16:59:59 UTC
Just fixed on both gnome-2-4 and HEAD branches so next release of
either will have this fixed
Comment 7 cheese 2003-09-17 13:52:33 UTC
i still have the same problem with panel 2.4.0-1 from rawhide (redhat)
Comment 8 Vincent Untz 2003-09-17 13:54:37 UTC
Is the panel from rawhide new enough to have the fix ? This has been
fixed yesterday...
Comment 9 cheese 2003-09-25 07:59:58 UTC
seems to be too old
the last changelog-entry dates from sep 4th.

thanks for pointing that out
Comment 10 Vincent Untz 2003-09-25 08:19:31 UTC
Then closing. Please reopen if this still happens in the next release.

Comment 13 devsk 2003-11-01 19:21:34 UTC
Not resolved in gnome-panel 2.4.0. I created a drawer with four
launchers, after re-login into gnome, they are not clickable. context
menu on the launchers is same as that of the panel. Basically, same
symptoms as before. From 2.4.0 to 2.4.1, I don't see any change which
said  that this bug has been fixed (or anything close to it).
Comment 14 devsk 2003-11-01 19:38:52 UTC
OK, 2.4.1 does resolve the problem, although top level Changelog
didn't mention that.
Comment 15 Michal Jaegermann 2003-11-23 21:44:16 UTC
2.4.1 seems to aquire a new annoying problem.  With
an "auto-hide" panel any action which shows a panel also "opens"
drawers and a panel will not hide until drawers are closed
manually.  But launchers in a drawer indeed do launch.
Comment 16 Vincent Untz 2003-11-24 10:12:13 UTC
Michal: this has been fixed too: only previously open drawers are open
when the panel is shown.
Comment 17 Michal Jaegermann 2003-12-12 22:34:24 UTC
> Michal: this has been fixed too:

Not as far as I can see.  At least not when I am using something
build from gnome-panel-2.4.1-0.gc1.src.rpm (from Gene Czar).
Touching a hidden panel, which has an "auto-hide" property,
drops down drawers and they stick.  Does it matter that I have
a panel on a top edge?  Is anything else I should try?
Comment 18 Vincent Untz 2003-12-12 22:41:24 UTC
This was fixed after the release of 2.4.1.
