Description Michael Basse 2011-12-06 14:06:35 UTC
Hi everyone,
with evolution 3.2.2 (Ubuntu 12.04) i am facing a bug in the context-menu. The context-menu (right click on a message) is showing many options. There are also shortcuts which are represented via "_".

See http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/evolution_with_shortcuts.png


When i move the mouse, the menu is disapering for a very short time, when it come back the shortcuts are no longer displayed

See http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/evolution_without_shortcuts.png


i never noticed this bug in evoltion 3.2.1

Just for the record i am also using these evoltion-packages

Comment 1 André Klapper 2011-12-06 14:58:14 UTC
Same for any other GTK+ application (like gedit), plus maybe even intentional as mnemonics/accelerators are not shown by default.
Comment 2 Michael Basse 2012-01-01 22:44:12 UTC
do you need some more informations on this issue? if so, please let me know.
Comment 3 Michael Basse 2012-02-04 01:59:02 UTC
so i guess the status can be modified to "confirmed"?
Comment 4 Daniel Boles 2017-08-28 12:18:10 UTC
I don't think so; André seemed only to be generalising, rather than confirming your specific report.

We would ideally need a self-contained example that replicates the reported issue.

I can't reproduce this, based on standard GtkMenu behaviour:

 * Menus opened by mouse have no accelerators shown,
   though pressing a key then moving the mouse will reveal them.

 * Menus opened by keynav have the accelerators shown, and the only time the
   mouse movement hides these is if you browse into one of their submenus.

My guess is this is obsolete, but please reopen with the required steps - preferably in a built-in demo like the gtk3-demo > Application Class page - if you can still demonstrate it.
