[Bug 42694] Menus scroll needlessly

[wabz]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
With the application menus placed in a panel on the bottom of the
screen, the menus often scroll, as if there wasn't enough space to
display them fully. However there is, and if I move the mouse off the
menu and back over, it does display fully. This happens for both the
main Application/Places/System menus, and their sub menus.

This behaviour often causes me to click the logout menu instead of just
bringing up the System menu, as the menu has been brought up and
scrolled by the time I release the mouse.

I can reproduce this on two machines running dapper, with these menus on
the bottom panel, the first time gnome has started. It does then occur
later (after fixing by moving the mouse over each menu once), but I'm
not sure how to reproduce that.
