menu to select zoom doesn't drop down

[Lyn Perrine]

* Impact
The new gtk popover menus are not displayed in some cases

* Test case
- log into a desktop environment showing menubars locally (gnome classic, xfce, kde, ...)
- run evince
- click on the zoom entry arrow
-> the menu should display

* Regression potential
check that widgets in gtk applications are still correctly placed on screen

--------------

To reproduce open a pdf file in evince from pcmanfm or another file manager. Then move the mouse to the upper right corner of the window along the top bar. Then try to click on the arrow pointing down to drop down the menu. The mouse pointer will click but no menu will drop down. I can still edit the zoom by clickin in this bar but I cannoy select fit page or fit width like I used to be able to in 14.04. I am using lxde as my desktop environment with openbox as my window manager.

Description: Ubuntu 14.10
Release: 14.10
I expected a menu to be able to choose zoom instead I can only change zoom by typing in the box.

Work around is to manually set a zoom by typing it in. This could lead to some accessibility problems for people with low vision if they need to zoom in on a pdf and don't know the workaround.

"I expected a menu to be able to choose zoom instead I can only change zoom by typing in the box."

ctrl + mouse wheel zooms in and out here

[Lyn Perrine (walterorlin)]

I can confirm the ctrl+ mousewheel alternate workaround works as well. Sorry didn't try that.

The drop down appears using an Ubuntu Desktop environment e.g. unity.

That seems like a gtk issue, the popover widget doesn't work when a menubar is displayed

[Allison Karlitskaya (desrt)]

This was fixed upstream here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=a1af365566161067c4eb246a1c66e7914f119537

Unfortunately this doesn't backport cleanly. I'll try to rebase the patch.

[Allison Karlitskaya (desrt)]

It will work if we also take 0dcffe3cd421555926e74002d5297d6dac0886e7, which is another bugfix that may be worth having.

[Allison Karlitskaya (desrt)]

Both have been pushed upstream on gtk-3-12 branch.
