GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 121072
Launchers in a drawer unusable
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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.
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.
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.

gnome-panel-2.4.0-1 has this too (Bug 122319)
Just fixed on both gnome-2-4 and HEAD branches so next release of either will have this fixed
i still have the same problem with panel 2.4.0-1 from rawhide (redhat)
Is the panel from rawhide new enough to have the fix ? This has been fixed yesterday...
seems to be too old the last changelog-entry dates from sep 4th. thanks for pointing that out
Then closing. Please reopen if this still happens in the next release.

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).
OK, 2.4.1 does resolve the problem, although top level Changelog didn't mention that.
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.
Michal: this has been fixed too: only previously open drawers are open when the panel is shown.
> 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?
This was fixed after the release of 2.4.1.
