Description of problem: When I scroll down in a menu (say the graphics menu entries) that is too large to fit on the screen the menu items listed scrolls. But when I move the mouse back to select an item I made visible, the menu snaps back to the top preventing selection of the desired item if it isn't visible while at the top of the menu. I am not sure exactly when this changed or which component is responsible. If this can be confirmed it should probably be marked as a release blocker. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-desktop-2.30.0-1.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I have another machine at work with a similar package set installed that isn't exhibiting this problem. So I need to look and see what's different.
I still haven't figured out why one machine has that problem. I have three other f13 machines that I haven't been able to duplicate the problem on.
I played with this some more and it doesn't do it on all of the large menu lists. But it isn't consistent about which ones it happens with.
I found that this issue is related to the theme being used. On the machine with problems I usually use Fedora with Echo icons. When I tried using Bluecurve (with or without Echo Icons) I didn't see the problem. Switching back caused it to reappear. I need to check to see if I have a corrupted install of that theme and whether or not the same problem is visible on a couple of other machines. (I typically don't mess with the theme on my scratchish machines, so they are probably using Bluecurve.)
I did see that Fedora really is just Clearlooks. And selecting the Clearlooks theme also resulted in having the menu selection issue.
I am seeing this on a second computer now. I have it occurring on both i686 and x86_64 arches. I am having trouble reproducing it on an i686 machine that doesn't have the kitchen sink installed on it. My next plan is try to some older versions of the Clearlooks theme. Even if that isn't the root of the problem, being able to isolate what triggers it would be useful to know. I might also try older desktops, but that seems likely to be a lot more involved.
I looked and gnome-theme-curvylooks has changed for about 9 months which predates me seeing the issue. So it seems unlikely to be something triggered by a change in that package.
Me too. Worked in F12 on same hardware. See also ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+bug/548652
Same issue after a upgrade from F12.
I was able to fix this issue using the hint in ubuntu bug report: just replace gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1 by gtk-auto-mnemonics = 0 in the theme you use. I use Fedora theme so it was in Clearlooks (/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc)... Of course, auto-mnemonics a new feature of gnome is now disabled, so this is only a quick fix not a real one!
Changing Clearlooks worked for me as well in F14. I tried adding the assignment to the .gtkrc-mine, .gtkrc and .gtkrc-2.0 files and it didn't help there. Unfortunately changing clearlooks means that package updates can switch things back again.
This issue is still happening in rawhide (f15).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
