Bug Description
If you right click on a launcher icon while a workspace transition is in progress, the menu will be stuck open, and unresponsive.
Reproduce :
* Open an application.
* Move your workspace viewpoint to another workspace
* The following steps should be done rapidly, immediately after one another
* Left click on the application icon in the launcher
* While the workspace is still scrolling, right click on the application icon
This causes the right click menu to open
The menu will be unresponsive to the pointer - mouseover will not highlight menu items. etc
* Now left-click in the context menu ; this should do nothing
* The click will actually pass through to the application beneath it, if there is one
The following things will clear the stuck menu :
* Switching desktops to the left (but not to the right)
* Opening a right-click menu for another launcher item.
Keyboard impulses appear to continue to work. ctrl-alt-Up and Down keystrokes will now move the menu highlight around ; this is presumably why switching desktop to the left (ctrl-alt-Left) closes the menu.
Oneiric with latest updates at time of writing.
Successfully reproduced in Precise.
