I've also had this problem with all gnome drop down menus on my panels

Also i forgot to mention I am using Debian Sid

It may be related to compiz, though I can't be certain as I only used gnome for about 2 minutes before enabling compiz since that was the primary reason that I installed gnome was to use compiz with it

yes apparently its a compiz problem.
