Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
My setup:
The gnome panel "Uhr" (probably called "Clock", but it does not reveal it's
untranslated name anywhere) is configured to show Time and weather. The
dropdown currently shows a calendar, appointments and locations. Evolution is
setup to fetch a google calendar.
Steps to reproduce:
* Click the panel button (Area where weather and time are displayed)
* The dropdown opens. The calendar is shown, locations are shown but
collapsed, appointsments are missing.
* About a second later, the appointments are also shown, uncollapsed.
* Click the panel button again. Most of the times, this hides the dropdown,
but sometimes, it remains open
* The rest of the gnome-panel remains responsive, but the clock dropdown
neithers hides, nor it takes any more input
* After some time (seconds or several minutes) the dropdown hides.
* After that, it behaves normally for several times, but eventually shows the
same misbehavior.
I once suspected this to be related to network problems (it seems that
the appointments are fetched from google each time the dropdown is
opened) but I can now confirm that the panel mostly behaves as intendet,
even if the network connection is deactived before or while it is
opened.
Possibly related bugs are: #501249 and #562921
