GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 306453
gap between panel and applications menu when first launched
Last modified: 2006-08-09 10:10:44 UTC
Version details: 2.11.1-0ubuntu4 Distribution/Version: Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" Development Branch The first time I click on the Applications menu after gnome-panel has been run (e.g. when I've logged in or having killed it and it's restarted) there is a gap between the panel and the bottom of the menu. This only seems to happen with the Applications menu and not Places or System. There doesn't seem to be a gap on subsequent occasions.

Wow. Interesting. Can you always reproduce?
Yeah, it happened cosistently. I've since gone back to Ubuntu 5.04 under which I don't experience this problem. However, I noticed that recently a new snapshot build of 5.10 has been released which I'll download and test.
Yeah, it's still here. The GNOME version in 5.10 is 2.11.90. It might help you to reproduce the bug if you know my panel setup as it doesn't seem to happen when the menu is at the top of the screen. I have a single panel located at the bottom of the screen which looks like this: [ Main Menu | Window List | Notification Area | Clock ] Size is 24. Expand is checked. Autohide and Show hide buttons are unchecked. Background is "None". If you want exactly the same software setup that I have an ISO can be downloaded at: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/5.10/colony-3/breezy-live-i386.iso
I can reproduce too, with a bottom panel. It's interesting to know it doesn't happen on GNOME 2.10. It might be because the menu is now created in an idle loop...
Looks like I was wrong and I do get this bug under 2.10. I've been using blackbox a lot recently so didn't get chance to check.
