RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Andy Grover 2011-03-22 16:07:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Selecting a menu on the topmost panel (Applications, Places, System) is too hard. I should be able to whip the mouse up and click the menu, but the menu doesn't respond to mouse clicks in the topmost pixel row, only the second row. This means it takes another fine mouse movement down a little before I can click to open the menu. This is a violation of Fitt's law.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Quickly move the mouse to top left to open a menu item
2. Mouse points at top pixel row
3. Click
  
Actual results:
nothing happens

Expected results:
menu should open

Additional info:

This also applies to the bottom panel, whipping the mouse down to reopen a minimized window often fails because the bottom pixel row does not respond to clicks. I tried all themes but it didn't make a difference.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 02:08:30 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 Andy Grover 2011-07-21 18:32:58 UTC 
Also, this only happens when compiz is enabled.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-07-21 22:30:06 UTC 
almost certainly a compiz issue then.  It probably uses the top edge of the screen for its own purposes
Comment 5 Andy Grover 2012-01-07 00:13:02 UTC 
still present in rhel 6.2.
Comment 6 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-08 15:22:01 UTC
