Bug Description

I'm not quite sure that the problem should be reported under 'libgnome' package.

It's difficult to describe this bug but it is in Ubuntu since 8.04 (even earlier maybe).

When a falling menu ("falling" menu... for example 'System > Appearance > Background (sub-menu) >' and the "Colors" or "Style" menu) is clicked, it is not open at the first try but you have to click it again in order to be opened.

The issue mostly occurs when the application is loaded for the first time after system reboot.

I can record my desktop if my description is not quite sufficient.

Kind regards,
Miro Hadzhiev

Thank you for your bug report, setting to low it's not likely a libgnome issue and you seem to be the only one to get the issue which suggests it's rather a config issue

The bug occurs during Live-CD installation, too.

I've started seeing it since I upgraded to Maverick, and it seems others are seeing it too: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1596464

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
