Bug Description
I am running the latest Ubuntu development packages (gnome-panel 2.14.1-0ubuntu5).
Description:
I had a tall icon (a preview of a tall image) that I dropped over the Menu Bar (or near it) in my default gnome panel at the top of the display. The icon snapped down so that it was placed just beneath the panel on the desktop. This is the behavior I would expect. However, something very bad happened with the gnome panel. It became covered along its entire width with repeated renderings of the Menu Bar. I am attaching a screenshot.
Repro:
You can see the tall icon in the attached screenshot. Create something like it, and then try repeatedly dropping the preview icon onto your gnome panel somewhere over or near the Menu Bar.
This image shows the UI breakage cause by dropping a desktop image preview icon onto the gnome panel on or near the Menu Bar applet.
