From: Robert Parlett <r.parlett <at> zen.co.uk> To: 17926 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#17926: Menu and tooltip glitches using GTK toolkit Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2014 23:15:13 +0100
When I click on a menu - say the Options menu, then cursor down to a sub-menu - say "Line wrapping in this buffer" - then when the pointer reaches the sub-item, its menu doesn't open. I then have to move the mouse slightly, and only then does the menu open. Further, tooltips in a menu sometimes don't appear correctly at first. They appear clipped and incomplete, but a further mouse move makes them redraw correctly. All other GTK apps work normally. I have created a youtube video which illustrates the above :- http://youtu.be/Ix1vO3T84ZI This affects version 24.3.1, installed in ubuntu 14.04, both on 32 and 64 bit installations. I also downloaded the source, also version 24.3.1, and compiled that, with the same results. A workaround is to configure with "--with-x-toolkit=athena". This toolkit's menus don't suffer from the same problems, and work fine.
