Can't edit some item's properties without unchecking the show box first.

Can't edit some item's properties without unchecking the show box first. There are some menu items that when I click on 'Properties' nothing happens, so I can't change the item. Once I click the uncheck the show box for an item that doesn't work, I can then edit the properties for the item, even if I recheck the show box. This fix seams to be permanent; the next time `alacarte` is run I can edit the properties of this item. This bug occurs on a per item basis, aka some I can edit while other's I can't without unchecking the show box. When I run `alacarte` from a terminal window, and click on 'Properties' for an item that doesn't work I get something like this [with the first number varying *****(guessing it's 15bits increasing around)]: (gnome-desktop-item-edit:32034): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed ** ERROR:panel-ditem-editor.c:761:panel_ditem_editor_setup_ui: code should not be reached p.s. I'm on Ubuntu 11.04, To find what version 'alacarte' this was, I tried `alacarte --version` and `alacarte -v` and `man alacarte` and trying to find the version somewhere in the GUI. Finally found it using Synaptic, This 'alacarte' is version 0.13.2-1ubuntu2(natty).
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/alacarte/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
