Hidden menu causing gap

[Hernando Torque]

Binary package hint: indicator-appmenu

I'm seeing a gap between "Search" and "Documents" when starting Gedit, after unfocusing and refocusing, the "Tools" menu appears (which isn't there in the original menu bar) - see screenshot. I don't see a gap in a GNOME session.

I cant reproduce this as 'Tools' never appear in my case but that might be because I have appmenu-gtk 0.0.8 in Lucid.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

You need 0.0.9 to see the tools menu. I can't reproduce the gap anymore with this version.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Marking fixed upstream. Please confirm the bug is closed on the ubuntu one.

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

You mean appmenu-gtk 0.0.9? Actually I _don't_ want to see the Tools menu as I don't have one in the original menu bar. Here are the versions I'm currently using (should be up-to-date):

indicator-appmenu:
  Installed: 0.0.7-0ubuntu2
appmenu-gtk:
  Installed: 0.0.9-0ubuntu3
bamfdaemon:
  Installed: 0.2.32-0ubuntu1
libdbusmenu-gtk1:
  Installed: 0.3.3-0ubuntu1
unity:
  Installed: 0.2.12-0ubuntu2

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you still get the issue using appmenu-gtk 0.1.0?

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

Yes, I'm still seeing the behavior in gedit ("Tools"), rhythmbox ("Tools"), and gnome-terminal ("Tabs").

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

FWIW: the menu dumps are the same whether I see the gap or the Tools/Tabs menu.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

seeing this too but the problem only occurs in Unity. there is no problem in gnome session.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

the problem is also reproduce able with gnome-terminal (sometimes)

[Mirco Müller (macslow)]

I cannot reproduce this. My setup is using a german locale here. The apps tested with are: gnome-terminal, gedit, evolution, xchat, empathy, gwibber. appmenu-gtk installed here is 0.0.9-0ubuntu1~ppa3+r54+201007061606. I just don't see any gap.

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

The issue here is, that there's a gap instead of a menu that's not supposed to be there in the first place.

*) Example gedit:

I don't have a plug-in enabled that causes the "Tools" menu to show up in the original menu bar. What I'm seeing when starting gedit: the "Tools" menu is there for the blink of an eye and then transforms into the (expandable, but empty) gap. That gap transforms back to a "Tools" menu, once I re-focus or unminimize gedit.

If I enable a plug-in that causes the "Tools" menu to show up (eg. the color picker), everything's fine. Not sure how to activate the "Tools" menu in rhythmbox but I guess it would work fine too.

*) Example gnome-terminal:

The "Tabs" menu is only supposed to show up if there's more than one tab open - in that case everything's fine, but upon start there's only one tab open, so the "Tabs" menu shouldn't be there. What I'm seeing instead is the same as with gedit, just that the expandable gap/menu isn't empty (see screenshot).

Using appmenu-gtk 0.1.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick) + UNE.

Looks like the hide event isn't getting through or we're not correctly honouring it.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

This bug is fixed in the gnome-panel applet implementation.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Jay: since other related modules have been fixed, can you check what's left to do at your level? If all clear, please mark the bug fix-released as well. Thanks

Tested on maverick; the problem cannot be reproduced.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I can reproduce this in Maverick by simply opening gnome terminal

My Maverick installation is up-to-date, and I'm still seeing what I described in #12:

* GNOME: no gap (never saw one), but after re-focusing or unminimizing, the additional (empty) menu shows up.

* UNE: gap upon application start (see screenshot in #12), and after re-focusing or unminimizing, the additional menu shows up.

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

I no longer see a gap using the attached branch. Unfortunately the Tools menus (if enabled) of gedit and rhythmbox don't contain any items, but that's another issue I guess.
