Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2012-03-18 09:28:48 UTC 
I have an Asus laptop with a touchpad ("ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad", two physical buttons). When I open a menu in GTK3 programs, the menu items do not react when I point at them – the background does not turn blue, submenus do not open, etc.

This only happens when using the touchpad to open the menu (regardless of whether I tap it or use the physical buttons) *and* using the touchpad to move the cursor.

* Open with touchpad, point with touchpad = Menu INACTIVE
* Open with mouse, point with touchpad = Menu active
* Open with [Alt] key, point with touchpad = Menu active
* Open with touchpad, point with mouse = Menu active
* Open with mouse, point with mouse = Menu active
* Open with [Alt] key, point with mouse = Menu active

Update: This also affects all other GTK3 widgets, not just menus.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2012-03-18 14:33:01 UTC 
Probably a problem with the code that generates synthetic enter/leave events.
Menus work fine with my synaptics touchpad, though.
Any idea, Carlos ?
