Items in submenus not working

[Hernando Torque]

Binary package hint: indicator-appmenu

Items in submenus don't seem to respond to clicks. Tested with gnome-terminal, gedit, and gimp within a "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" session.

btw the problem is only in Unity session.

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

Yes, thanks. Forgot to test that.

try to remove-reload-add the Applet AppMenu...

Confirmed gedit is working using the gnome applet, seems specific to unity

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

Using unity, gedit submenus are working for me but gnome-terminal submenus are not.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

By not working do you mean that they are not responding to clicks? or that they are empty?
For empty sub-menus, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/594228

For items not responding to clicks, that's a unity implementation issue then.

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

It's in the bug description. :-)

Submenu items don't get highlighted and don't respond to clicks.

Hernando, does VLC (or any other KDE app) menus work?

[Neil J. Patel (njpatel)]

Nevermind, I can reproduce this :/ Not sure what's going on, definitely a Unity/Mutter issue.

[Hernando Torque (htorque)]

Kate and VLC show the same behavior.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

This works using the indicator-applet so it must be a unity issue.
