Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04
Codename: raring
gedit 3.6.2-0ubuntu1
libgtk-3-0:i386 3.6.4-0ubuntu8

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open new instance of gedit Text Editor
2. Access menu: View | Highlight Mode | Sources

Notice that on first access the Sources sub-menu lacks Up/Down mouse roll buttons. Dismiss menu and try again to see that Up/Down mouse roll buttons are now present.

Moving this to gtk+3.0. I believe it is gtk 3 specific. It is not just limited to gedit, it happens with any app using indicator-appmenu (I notice it most often under okular on pdfs with lots of bookmarks). But it is also not indicator-appmenu specific because the following code, when run with:

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 ./test-menu

will exhibit the behavior as well. When compiled with:

gcc -o test-menu test-menu.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0);

the weird first time no scrollbars behavior occurs. But it works fine if using:

gcc -o test-menu test-menu.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0);

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
