Description praveen b varrier 2004-06-12 15:10:10 UTC 
1)Add the drivemount at the bottom of the Either left or right panel.
2)Rigft click the panel.
3)You can see a lot of space blank which ios surely an error.
Comment 1 Vincent Noel 2004-08-13 15:06:03 UTC 
I can reproduce this : when you add a small applet on the bottom of a left or
right panel, and right-click on the applet, the applet menu appears empty. In
fact all the menu items are off-screen and you have to scroll the menu to see
them...

I know that according to the last comment of bug 119821 (there is a better bug
but I cant find it atm) this is the intended behavior for option menus (to get
the selected item under the mouse) but there is now "selected item" for
right-click menu applets - so the behavior seems broken...

Comment 3 Danielle Madeley 2004-10-22 12:52:26 UTC 
The drivemount applet has been completley rewritten for GNOME 2.10 to use the
volume-monitor in gnome-vfs. This invalidates all the current bugs against
drivemount.

If this bug is still current, please reopen it with appropriate commentry.
Comment 4 Vincent Noel 2004-10-22 18:11:05 UTC 
Hey Davyd,
this bug was filed against the drivemount applet but actually happens for all
applets. I'm re-opening.
Comment 5 Danielle Madeley 2004-10-22 23:38:22 UTC 
Ok, I'm refiling this as general. Someone should look into it.
Comment 6 Danielle Madeley 2005-01-09 07:42:16 UTC 
Thinking about this, it's probably libpanel-applet. Reassigning to gnome-panel.
Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2005-01-09 16:50:56 UTC 
Probably a bug in the menu positionning function...
Comment 8 Vincent Untz 2005-01-12 13:57:15 UTC 
Sorry for the spam. Mass-marking some bugs to the 2.10.x milestone.
 Filter on "VINCENT WANTS THIS FOR 2.10" to ignore.

        * applet.c: (panel_applet_position_menu): fix positionning algorithm
        so that the all menu is always on screen (no need to scroll)
        Fix bug #144213

Sorry to be a PITA, but the bug is still there.
Try to add a window selector applet on the bottom of a right-side panel, then
right-click on it. The menu that comes up is still empty.
Comment 11 Vincent Untz 2005-02-01 20:23:24 UTC 
Vincent: did you recompile & reinstall libpanel-applet?
It's working here
Comment 12 Vincent Noel 2005-02-01 20:48:00 UTC 
Mea culpa.
I had to kill my x session to make it use the new libpanel, but it works now.
Mea maxima culpa.
