"Character Encoding" subsubsubmenus are missing all their items

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

firefox-globalmenu 4.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu Natty
firefox-globalmenu 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2, Ubuntu 11.04

1. In Firefox or Thunderbird, open "View" > "Character Encoding" > "More Encodings" > "East European", or any of the other subsubsubmenus in that subsubmenu.

What you see: A sliver of menu with no items in it.
What you should see: A subsubsubmenu containing "Baltic (ISO-8859-4)", "Baltic (ISO-8859-13)", "Baltic (Windows-1257)", etc.

2. Log in to a user account using the Classic session.
3. Add the "Indicator Applet Appmenu" to the panel, if it's not there already.
4. Launch Firefox/Thunderbird, and verify that the bug exists here too.
5. Right-click on the menu bar and choose "Remove From Panel".
6. In Firefox/Thunderbird, browse to some of the subsubsubmenus but not others.
7. Right-click on the panel, choose "Add to Panel", and re-add "Indicator Applet Appmenu".
8. Browse Firefox's/Thunderbird's "View" > "Character Encoding" > "More Encodings" subsubsubmenus again.

What you see:
* Whichever subsubsubmenus you opened, while Firefox/Thunderbird was displaying its own menus, are now all present and correct.
* Whichever subsubsubmenus you did not open, while Firefox/Thunderbird was displaying its own menus, are still AWOL.

This suggests that each of the subsubsubmenus is populated on-demand, and that firefox-globalmenu is either not sending the signal to populate a menu, or is not noticing the menu items when they are added.

Hmm, my East European subsubsubmenu is complete.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Mine too.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Hi, is this still occuring? I can't reproduce this at all here.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Yes, still occurring in both Firefox 4.0.1 and Thunderbird 3.1.10.

Any chance you could post a screenshot? (you might need to using a screenshot tool like shutter to get a good one) Does it look anything like the screenshot in bug 784330?

Screenshots are in bug #771229

Could someone please do this and dump the menus from their firefox. Then we can see if it's a global menu extention issue or an appmenu one.

Install the dbusmenu tools: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/libdbusmenu-tools

Execute the dbusmenu dumper. $ /usr/lib/libdbusmenu/dbusmenu-dumper > ~/firefox-menus.dump

Click on Firefox.

Then attach ~/firefox-menus.dump to this bug.

Thanks!

No longer occurring with firefox-globalmenu 7.0~b1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.
