Places menu right click bug

[jack]

hi! when i am in the Places menu and without closing it right click somewhere else in the screen, the options for the menu bar applet appear under the Applications menu, Places menu remains open and you can't do anything without moving the cursor over Places. :P

Thank you for reporting this issue, it helps make Ubuntu better. Please answer the following questions.

sorry i forgot to mention... i am using ubuntu 9.04 alpha 6.

steps:
1. click to expand Places menu
2. right click anywhere else in the screen (ex. Desktop)

if you do that you'll see what i mean i believe because i have tried it in 2 different laptops and the same thing happens. it is not a major bug but it is a bit annoying.

This bug didn't have a package associated with it, I am filing it under gnome-menus.
I am also able to reproduce this behavior, it's pretty self-explanatory. I'm not entirely convinced it's a bug, the behavior may be intentional, but we'll let the developers decide that. Thank you for reporting this.

well, i think that it is a bug because when i do that places will not close if i do not click on the panel.

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

That's fair enough, since normally you expect menus to close when you click outside of them, even if it is a right click.

Actually I found that the behavior was erratic, sometimes I do get a normal menu, other times it acts like you right clicked on the panel where the menus are.
