Gnome-Shell 3.6.1 : right clicking doesn't load menu.
Last modified: 2012-10-26 00:16:11 UTC
Hello. This looks like to be a really recent issue, as I don't see it with gnome-shell 3.6.0. It is very simple to reproduce. Plug in an USB HDD, an USB key, or any removable device. After notification is shown, when I go to message tray and try to remove it cleanly using right click menu, nothing is shown. Restarting gnome-shell shows right click menu on the first time, then nothing at all. Using archlinux. I reproduced this bug on both an install over gnome 3.4.x (in a qemu virtual machine) and on my real computer which was running gnome-unstable repository before so I saw this issue started with gnome-shell 3.6.1 upgrade. Here are software versions used in archlinux : gnome-shell 3.6.1 mutter 3.6.1 clutter 1.12.2 Just tell me if you need more infos.
As far as I know frugalware linux maintener can reproduce this bug
We removed the right-click notification on the "Removable Devices" source, if that's what you're talking about.
In a way, yes. How to cleanly unplug removable devices ? Right clicking was a simple way to do.

No, it wasn't - "Remove" in the right-click menu only referred to the message tray source (e.g. the icon), not the devices. To unplug a device, click the eject icon in the left-click popup.
Well, I was uses to do it before with right click. Thanks for the info.

If you clicked the "Remove" menu item, there was code to re-add the source to the tray. And of course, "Open" did nothing. We removed the right click menu for this reason.
