Description Sergej Kotliar 2005-07-05 15:13:13 UTC 
I have bound the WIN key on my desktop to open the GNOME menu. If I press it
once, the GNOME menu opens, and everything is good. If I now want to close it
again, what do I do? I press the key again. But it doesn't close.

I don't know why it doesn't, but it should! Pressing things a second time is
expected to revert the action. For example - clicking a widget twice (not
doubleclicking) unselects the widget (menu or icon or checkbox whatever).

So I ask for this little thing to be fixed. I set the bug to minor as the menu
can be closed with the ESC key, but it's unintuitive, and it's far from the WIN
key (or any other key I may have bound to open the panel menu). If nothing else,
windows users expect this, and it breaks no functionality for anyone else.

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.
