GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 130093
Auto-hide doesn't work under quick mouse movement
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: Under quick mouse movement, auto-hide does not always work correctly. The menu appears but then never hides itself. I had this behavior under Solaris with the Ximian desktop. Now again that I've installed Mandrake 9.2 on my x86 box. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. If there is an auto-hide panel at the bottom of the screen, VERY QUICKLY move your mouse down and up. The result that I keep running into (by accident) is that the auto-hide panel appears, and never disappears. You have to click on the panel once and move your mouse away to get it to disappear. 2. 3. Actual Results: An auto-hide panel appears but stays on the screen, even though the mouse is far away. Expected Results: The auto-hide panel should appear, then after the normal time, disappear once again. How often does this happen? So many times a day that it is unnerving. I know, it is just probably the way I work the mouse. Additional Information: Email jmccorm@yahoo.com if you have any questions but PLEASE PLEASE give this serious attention. This really really makes using GNOME a pain!
Fixed in CVS. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 122589 ***
