Icon in notification area gets invisible

[Linus Mannervik]

Binary package hint: liferea

The Liferea icon in the notification area sometimes become invisible (but still clickable) when feeds are reloaded and unread articles are found.

Thanks for the report.

I have never seen this behaviour. It is possible that you are missing an icon file. Could you attach the output of the following command to this bug report, please?

ls -l /usr/share/liferea/pixmaps/

Also, what version of the liferea package do you have installed?

[Linus Mannervik (glitter)]

I don't think I am missing an icon file since it works alright most of the time.

$ ls -l /usr/share/liferea/pixmaps/

I am using the latest available Liferea version in the dapper ppc repository - 1.0.12-0ubuntu2

Might this be affected by the screensaver? I think i have only noticed this problem after I have been away from the computer - I have never actually seen it go turn visible to invisible.

[Phil Bull (philbull)]

Possibly - which version of gnome-screensaver do you have installed?

[Linus Mannervik (glitter)]

I am using gnome-screensaver version 2.14.1-0ubuntu3

[Phil Bull (philbull)]

Could you produce a screenshot of this issue and attach it to this bug, please?

[Linus Mannervik (glitter)]

I left my computer and liferea up and running when I left home earlier today. When I came home the icon was gone again.

As requested attached is a screenshot showing the absence the icon. I held my mouse cursor over the invisible icon when I made the screenshot to make the tooltip come up and show that Liferea is still there.

[Phil Bull (philbull)]

Does anyone else have this issue?

[Linus Mannervik (glitter)]

This is probably a bug in gnome-panel rather than liferea since I have seen the same problem with both the gnome-power-manager icon and gajim. How can I "move" the bug report?

[Javier Jardón (jjardon)]

This bug still exist in Feisty?

[Linus Mannervik (glitter)]

No, from what I've experienced so far, this seems to be solved!

Thanks!
