From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: I enabled "Show hide buttons" on the panel, then the Main Menu button didn't work. I right-clicked it and noticed it was locked, so unlocked it, then it worked again. If I remove the hide buttons, it's OK, but if I then switch places with the Mozilla icon, then switch back again, Main Menu works but Mozilla doesn't! If I right-click the Mozilla icon at this time I get the panel menu. I haven't explored all the permutations, but this is definitely screwed up! I guess what's happening is that the panel hide buttons override the locked status of the Main Menu, but other icons aren't informed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.4.0-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Show hide buttons in Panel properties Actual Results: Main Menu stops working Unlock main menu Main menu now works Put something else in leftmost position Now this doesn't work! Expected Results: Show hide buttons has no adverse effects Additional info:
This was fixed in gnome-panel 2.4.1 and so the fix will be in the FC1 update I hope to release sometime this week. This is the upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121072 (Yes, I know they don't sound like the same thing, but they are actually the same bug :-)
I've just released a testing update which should fix this issue. Please test it out and let us know if it fixes your problem. Details on the update: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg01512.html
