ok, the problem is not always reproducible with Andrea's procedure but happens sometimes (~50%).
also, it is related not only to the trash icon, but also with any other launcher. steps to reproduce: 1) log out and in again 2) right click on some launcher icon (I tested trash, home and terminal) 3) the right click menu appears but it is inactive (frozen) 4) left-clicking on the same icon restores the correct behavior (right-click menu accessible) ** Attachment added: "Schermata del 2011-11-27 15:53:25.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/876987/+attachment/2610436/+files/Schermata%20del%202011-11-27%2015%3A53%3A25.png ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876987 Title: Cannot empty Trash from Unity bar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/876987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
