GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 325826
menubar menu entries "jump" as icons are loaded
Last modified: 2006-01-11 21:34:19 UTC
When the menubar menus are loaded and the icons have not yet been loaded and cached, the menus are immediately rendered. The icons very quickly pop into place and push the labels out to the right and also push them further apart. The problem is that occassionally I might move a little faster than the icon loading can complete. I put the cursor over a label and just before clicking the icons suddenly pop into existance and add both horizontal and vertical spacing to the menu, generally causing the item I then click on to not be the one I had just been aiming at a moment before. I don't notice this happen with regular application menus; just with the menubar menus. I think that if the menu had blank space allocated for the icons when the menu first appears, so that when the icons are finally loaded they don't cause any of the labels to move around, that this problem would disappear. This problem isn't severe, the icons tend to pop up *very* quickly, but sometimes I'm just a little too quick or the computer's just a little too slow. ;-) Other information:
