places popup menu displayed at wrong location

[Qianqian Fang]

Binary package hint: xfce4-places-plugin

After upgrading my xubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04, my Places plugin has not been not working properly. Clicking on the places icon on the xfce task bar, the popup menu showed at a strange position. It used to be aligned at the left-top corner of the Places icon.

My desktop has two screens, and the xfce taskbar/panel is located at the bottom of the left screen.

Screenshot is attached.

Screenshot. Places icon is at the bottom panel, one step away from the left corner. Places menu itself appeared in the top corner.

When I click on the icon for the menu, the menu itself will not always show up near the menu button. Oftentimes it will appear in the upper left corner of the screen, or if I have just added the menu to the panel, it will show up where it was first added (right hand side of the panel) rather than where it was later moved to.

This was seen with xfce4-places-plugin 1.2.0 in Ubuntu 11.04.

Does it still occur in release 1.4.0? Can't reproduce it.

Please test the latest version of xfce4-places-plugin 1.6.0 (Ubuntu 14.04). Is this bug still reproducible?

[Thaddaeus Tintenfisch (thad-fisch-deactivatedaccount)]

This bug cannot be reproduced anymore in 14.04 or newer.
