GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 691911
right and left click on nm-applet don't work with gtk3-3.7.6
Last modified: 2013-10-01 21:42:28 UTC
Updated to gtk3-3.7.6-1.fc19 today. nm-applet stops responding to right/left click (or it might be still responding, but only showing a 1 pixel type thing instead of networks/settings. Downgrading to gtk3-3.7.4-1.fc19 and everything returns to normal. This is in Xfce using it's systray for nm-applet. Happy to provide more info or try things.
Let me get this straight: The problem is that the menu is broken somehow (How exactly?). There is no issue with displaying the applet icon. Right?
Right. The applet icon appears fine, as does the tool tip showing signal strength when you hover over it. But if you right click you should get a menu with wired / wireless, showing which you are connected to, listing the others around, more networks, vpn connections, connect to hidden wifi network and create new wifi network. Left click should give you a menu with enable networking, enable wifi, enable noifications, connection information, edit connections, about. With 3.7.6-1, you can right or left click and _something_ seems to take focus, but no menu is drawn. Or it might be drawing a very thin 1px line instead of the menu. You can't see any menu or options.
Can you confirm if this is working again with a later version of gtk?
Yes. This was fixed in the Fedora package in: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gtk3.git/commit/?id=4efddbffe26cc15b960e975eba4aac707af9afd7 and has worked since then. Sorry for not updating the bug. This can be closed out as far as I am concerned. ;)
