GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 348723
Auto-hide panel occasionally jumps to wrong edge of screen
Last modified: 2006-07-26 15:35:17 UTC
gnome-panel sometimes appears to jump to the wrong side of the screen. It sometimes then jumps back to its correct location, scrolling across the screen as it does. Most reliable way to accomplish this is as follows: - Run brightside in desktop-switch mode - Position an auto-hide panel vertically on the right side of the screen - quickly & repeatedly switch back and forth between workspaces, making the mouse pass back and forth "across" the auto-hide panel. Doing this, I frequently see the panel appear on the left hand side of the screen, then slide back across the screen to its correct location, apparantly in time with its auto-hide animation. I can duplicate this reliably this way under Metacity and Openbox. I've seen it happen without running brightside, although I can't duplicate it reliably. In case this is a race-condition, I am on a relatively load-laden, low-on-memory AMD Duron 850mhz system.
Hi Jeremy, this seems related to bug 171938. Can you confirm it is the same bug?
