Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
My netbook is connected to an external display at times. I run lucid Ubuntu netbook edition as my window manager. A left-click on the network-manager applet does not produce a visible menu under the following conditions.
1) dual-head and internal display below external display
2) long list of entries make the menu overflow
I get a long list of entries for example when I have wifi, ethernet and GSM active at the same time. When the list in the network-manager applet becomes long enough to hit the lower edge of the screen it apparently overflows incorrectly in such a way that the whole menu becomes invisible (except for a bar of about 1 pixel height just above the applet). The same long list works fine when the internal display is on top of the external display, for what it's worth.

I've tried to reproduce this with multiple screen resolutions and setups (to the left, to the right, above, below, etc) with no luck. I went all the way down to 800x600. This was on Natty.
Rolf, can you confirm which version of Ubuntu you're running? Thanks!
