Stops responding to mouse clicks and won't open the VPN menu

[Stephen Rees-Carter]

I'm running 12.04 x64.

When I first boot up indicator-network works fine, but after a while of use (and possibly a suspend or two) it stops responding to mouse clicks. It will open when selected, but none of the menu items work. Also the VPN submenu opens as a tiny sliver and is also completely unusable.

The only way around it is to restart the computer.

As shown in your bug report, indicator-network is "(not installed)". I think you mean network-manager.

Could you please run 'apport-collect 933791' so that we can make sure which version of nm-applet you are running? Seems to me like this should already have been fixed; and I definitely can't reproduce this issue.

I haven't encountered this bug in a while, so it is likely that it has been fixed. I will update this bug if it occurs again, but for now, assume it's all good.

Sorry about specifying the wrong package - I thought since the other items up there were all indications, that this one would be one too :)

This bug appears to be a possible duplicate of bug #930563 which is certainly not fixed.
