This bug is not limited to the Games menu. It affects all menus. I have a Compaq Mini 110c and the following menus are affected: Accessories Education Games Graphics Office Sound and Video System Tools
This is particularly problematic because the "desktop switcher" was deprecated and so it's no longer easy to access the normal gnome desktop unless you turn off the menu altogether. For new users it would add other problems. My "root" and "terminal" icons were not available because they were pushed below the accessible range of the menu. To work around that I simply used the "Main Menu" tool under System -> Administration and moved the "terminal" icon to the "Sytem Administration" menu so I could access it. Of course, if the "main menu" tool was made inaccessible it would be a bigger PITA. I think it should have a higher priority. It appears that the problem is caused when the menu allocates a large amount of space below one or more icons and this pushes the other icons below the accessible window. If I was a coder I would be glad to help, from all appearances it looks like the rendering algorythm creates a visible window based on the number of icons in a given menu and then renders the icons in that menu and if the procedure that creates the spacing of the icons allocates too much space and pushes the other icons down then the available window is not adjusted for this problem and the program icons become unavailable. -- Text on "Games" menu is outside of window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445829 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
