Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-02-11 15:13:11 UTC 
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/84254

"Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Steps to reproduce:
1) Left click on "System" (e.g.) in the panel to bring up the menu
2) Right click on any other icon in the panel
-> The right-click-menu opens at the very left side of the panel instead of where you pointed with your mouse
3) Choose "Remove from Panel"
-> The menu-bar is removed instead of the icon you pointed as you did the right click

Expected behaviour:
The right-click menu should be opened near the mouse-pointer and the icon you clicked on should be removed. Eventually the "Menu" you opened before should be closed on a right click.

Package: gnome-panel 2.17.90-0ubuntu1"

Happens with the places menu. Looks like a grab issue.
Comment 2 Omer Akram 2010-01-24 06:40:42 UTC 
Please mark this bug fixed as it does not seem to be the case in 2.29.5.1
Comment 3 André Klapper 2020-11-06 20:19:46 UTC 
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.
