You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am using appindicator-1.0 in conjunction with Gtk+2.0 menu. Menu consist of constant items and many dynamically added items. If the screen pixel resolution is not so good as it must be then the last menu items are not visible. Ubuntu 16.04 automatically add top and bottom bars with "^" and "v" arrows to scroll menu when mouse pointer is over these bars. But in Linux Ubuntu 18.04 (and 19.04 too) such scrolling bars are not appearing.
On the other hand menu scrolling is working fine anywhere into usual GTK window with menu bar (without using appindicator). Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 use the same 12.10.1 libappindicator version. Here is the test c program which illustrates the issue. It works fine in Linux Ubuntu 16.04 and has the described above problem in Linux 18.04: #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <libappindicator/app-indicator.h> #define LOGO_PNG "/home/super/my-project/menu-test/logo.png" AppIndicator* c_indicator; GtkWidget* c_menu; void menu_quit_cb(GtkMenuItem* menuitem, gpointer user_data) { gtk_main_quit(); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { gtk_init(&argc, &argv); int i; GtkWidget* item; char title[128]; c_menu = gtk_menu_new(); item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("Quit"); g_signal_connect(item, "activate", G_CALLBACK(menu_quit_cb), NULL); gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(c_menu), item); gtk_widget_show(item); gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(c_menu), gtk_separator_menu_item_new()); for (i = 1; i <= 100; ++i) { snprintf(title, sizeof(title), "Item #%03u", i); item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label(title); gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(c_menu), item); gtk_widget_show(item); } // c_indicator = app_indicator_new("Menu Test", LOGO_PNG, APP_INDICATOR_CATEGORY_APPLICATION_STATUS); app_indicator_set_status(c_indicator, APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ACTIVE); app_indicator_set_icon(c_indicator, LOGO_PNG); app_indicator_set_menu(c_indicator, GTK_MENU(c_menu)); gtk_main(); return 0; } ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: libappindicator1 12.10.1+18.04.20180322.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-50.54-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-50-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri May 24 21:15:59 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-07-03 (325 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) SourcePackage: libappindicator UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- Long Gtk menu into appindicator1 cannot be scrolled: arrow bars are absent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830422 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
