GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 615022
Main Menu applet: un-selectable menu items on menus that are larger than the screen height
Last modified: 2018-04-15 00:07:04 UTC
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 gnome-applets: Installed: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 Steps to reproduce: 1) Right click on a free area in the panel and choose "Add to panel..." 2) Select "Main Menu" (NOT Menu Bar!!), and click Add 3) Click on the Main Menu Icon, and locate the longest menu (probably System->Preferences) 4) Resize screen resolution to ensure that the longest menu does not fit in the screen 5) Try to launch any item on the menu below the scroll area What happens: When the mouse enters the scroll area, the menu scrolls down. However, when the mouse leaves the scroll area, the menu scrolls up, and the last visible menu item (without any scrolling) is highlighted. It appears to be impossible to launch menu items below the scroll area using the mouse. What is meant to happen: When the mouse leaves the scroll area, the menu should not scroll up, and visible menu items should be highlighted by the mouse. It is possible to select these menu items using the keyboard, so the bug appears to be something to do with the mouse leaving the scroll area.
the issue is a gtk one when using a theme setting gtk-auto-mnemonics on, reassigning to gtk
Is this still reproducible? If so, please can we have a minimal test case that doesn't depend on an old application? Thanks.
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla. If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/new
