Patch to add a new style property to GtkMenu to restore previous (unintentional) functionality (3.50 KB, patch)

Description Michael Webster 2013-11-10 03:29:23 UTC 
As of 3.8, the GtkMenu style properties horizontal- and vertical-padding have been deprecated, and are ignored.

They were commonly used by themes to shift the menu by a pixel or two out from under the pointer, to prevent accidental selection of popup menu items on the initial right-click and then release.

This applies just fine to 3.8.4 as well as master - would be nice to see it backported.  Thanks

This may not be the final solution for https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2871, but as long as this is not fixed, at least leave themes the option to fix it by themselves.
