[Bug 965953] Re: Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen bottom
I can confirm that my workaround (removing indicator packages) does not work anymore with Xubuntu 18.10. Even using "dbus-launch nm-applet" workaround does not work anymore. You can easily reproduce the issue by having WiFi switched off and when you switch it on, you will have to scroll to see all the network names. Another problem now is that when I click on the network manager system trail button to connect to network for example, I cannot use button anymore for several seconds and have to wait so it becomes available. I don't know if this issue is related. If there is no other workaround, users could switch to Lubuntu which has the menu bar at the bottom by default and it now comes preinstalled with LXQt (the creator of LXDE switch from GTK to Qt because he was not satisfied). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965953 Title: Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen bottom To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/965953/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 965953] Re: Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen bottom
I have been inserting debugging in formation and here is a trace that I am getting when I click on the Skype entry in the indicator applet. For some reason, whenever the items in a menu change, then all items of the menu are removed and then inserted again. For Skype this seems to happen every single time I open the menu. When I open other menu items such as bluetooth or Ubuntu One, then the entries are not removed and inserted. But the menu simply opens. However I can reproduce the same phenomen with network-manager. When I open the menu and then pull the network cable I can see how all items get removed and then re-inserted.

[Bug 965953] Re: Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen bottom
@Ian Lane: The issue happens only when the panel is at the bottom, not at the top. The issue also most frequently happens with Skype, but also sometimes with other applets such as network-manager or dropbox. It appears particularly after the menuitems in the menu change, such as when a new Wireless network has been detected or the network adaper looses/gains a connection. Try pulling the network cabel from your notebook and the network-manager menu will collapse to 0px height. After that only a restart of the applet can fix the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965953 Title: Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen bottom To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/965953/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It shouldn't be hard to reproduce, I noticed it immediately after upgrading. Just use the gnome classic session, add a bottom panel, and set the indicator applet on the bottom panel in Precise. The WiFi indicator is the easiest to reproduce the issue as it updates frequently. Sound indicator is another example, when it changes tracks. Try scrubbing left and right across the indicators. The patch above is a sort of fix, but it adds a new bug where frequently instead of being too small, the indicator menus become massive and reach nearly to the top of the screen.
