Description Carey Underwood 2009-04-26 21:30:13 UTC
Please describe the problem:
[]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Dual-monitor setup in vertical orientation
2. Place a panel across the bottom edge of the top screen.
3. Right click on anywhere on the panel


Actual results:
Pop-up menu is blank with a down arrow:  the menu entries are not visible.  Hovering on the down arrow slides the normal menu entries into view, at which point the arrow disappears.

Expected results:
Menu entries should simply be displayed

Does this happen every time?
Yes

The desktop before opening the main menu

Same thing happens on GNOME 2.28 when opening the main menu on the (lower) main screen. Attaching the image sequence.

Main menu scrolled, showing some items

The main menu items are all still there, just scrolled to the top. Howering the mouse over the arrow or pressing Up on the keyboard reveals the items.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
