Comment 4 for bug 323952

Hi!

Thank you for your quick response.

The program triggered when you right click the application menu and select 'edit menus' is "alacarte".

I've tried to reproduce your bug and I've noticed that the user interface of alcarte is quite strange. Try for example the following steps:

1) Click "Application"
2) Click "New menu"
3) Create a new menu with name "testMenu"
4) Click "testMenu"
5) Click "New Item"
6) Create a new item with name "testItem" and command "testCommand"

Now I'm going to delete "testItem".

7) I select "testItem" from the "Items:" column
8) I click "Delete"

The result is that "testItem" has been deleted as expected.

Now I'm going to delete "testMenu".

9) I select "testMenu" from the "Menus:" column
10) I click "Delete" (which is active)

Nothing happens.

11) I select "Application" from the "Menus:" column
12) I select "testMenu" from the "Items:" column
13) I click "Delete"

"testMenu" has been deleted as expected.

(I'm sorry for the verbosity of my message...)

I'm going to move this report to "alacarte" package and mark this as "Confirmed" since I find this user interface extremely unintuitive. I'd suggest to disable the "Delete" button when the user has not selected anything in the "Item:" column, or better let the user delete an item which belongs to the "Menus:" column.

Thank you for taking the time to help in making ubuntu better.
