Context menu in Deluge-gtk moves when choosing submenu

[Anders Bruun Olsen]

After upgrading from Natty with Gnome to Oneiric with Unity I have encountered a small annoyance with Deluge. I have labels enabled and if I highlight one or more torrents, right-click and point to the Label submenu the entire context menu is moved such that the upper left pixel of the context menu is directly where the mouse pointer points to. This makes it virtually impossible to choose a label with the mouse because every time the mouse is moved to the Label submenu, the entire context menu jumps. A work around is to navigate the context menu with the arrow keys instead. None of the other submenus in the context menu is affected by this.

Another work-around would be to use the Torrent menu on the top instead of the right-click context menu.

I have seen this issue before but only on our development branch and not 1.3.3.

Does disabling label plugin stop the context menu jumping?

[Anders Bruun Olsen (abo-dsl.dk)]

Yes. It only happens when the label plugin is activated and when pointing to the Label submenu. An interesting detail is that if I disable the plugin and reenable it the context menu then works like it should, with no jumping about. Unfortunately after restarting Deluge the jumping happens again.

I have just tested on a different machine I have, that is also running Ubuntu 11.10 and the problem is not seen here. The biggest difference between the two machines seem to be the video card which is Nvidia in the machine that exhibits the problem and ATI/AMD in the other one that does not have the problem. Could the problem be related to the Nvidia closed-source driver?
Let me know what I can do to help debug this.

Could you try with a clean config. You can do this by either moving your existing config or using '-c' to specify a new config from the console.

I have tested briefly with Oneiric but could not see any issue.

Today this issue has apparently solved itself. I have done nothing except shut down the machine yesterday and boot it up today. Unless somebody else has this problem I guess this bug can be closed...
