*** Bug 105662 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 105346 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This has been fixed in cvs on the gnome-2-4 branch. *** Bug 107131 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 107242 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 107616 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 107648 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121072 This a real pain and a shame that it is not fixed in time for FC 1 OK, I am attaching a patch which works for me. The fix was entered into the gnome-panel cvs soon after 2.4.0 on 16 Sep and appears to only involve button-widget.c I created the patch by getting the current cvs of gnome-panel and doing a diff -u between the tarball from gnome-panel-2.4.0-3.src.rpm and the cvs version. This applies and compiles clean BUT I did a quick and dirty of just taking whatever was in button-widget.c rather than figuring out the precise up2date for the fix. Therefore, CAUTION: this may break something else. Perhaps someone more familiar with this code could take a look. Created attachment 95627 [details]
button-widget.c fix for drawer problem
I have looked over the three additional fixes incorporated into this patch and they are both minor and relatively contained in button-widget.c. I have built a modified rpm and tested the update and it works. Alternatively, gnome-panel-2.4.1 is now available. This includes the updates to button-widget.c OK, in irc fedora-bugs, Bill Nottingham indicated that the "fix" needs more testing. Hopefully, some of you on the CC list can do some testing and report results here. I have built some rpms for the fix and made them available on ftp://czar.net/pub/ Patch applied to 2.4.0: ftp://czarc.net/pub/gnome-panel-2.4.0-3.gc2.i386.rpm ftp://czarc.net/pub/gnome-panel-2.4.0-3.gc2.src.rpm gnome-panel-2.4.1 with redhat patches fixed for 2.4.1: ftp://czarc.net/pub/gnome-panel-2.4.1-0.gc1.i386.rpm ftp://czarc.net/pub/gnome-panel-2.4.1-0.gc1.src.rpm I am currently running with gnome-paenl-2.4.1 but also ran for a few days with only the draw-fix-patch. In both cases, the draw now works and I have had no other problems. Just tried out the 2.4.1-0 rpm and it seem to work fine for me > Just tried out the 2.4.1-0 rpm and it seem to work fine for me
Not really. 2.4.1 seems to have a new annoying problem. With
an "auto-hide" panel any action which shows a panel also "opens"
drawers and a panel will not hide until drawers are closed
manually.
OTOH with 2.4.0-3.gc2 and an "auto-hide" panel does not seem to
be even possible to pick up panel actions. Drawers deactivate
immediately when a mouse pointer moves out of a panel area even
if it stays within a drawer.
I just did an rpm -Uvh and tried gnome-panel-2.4.0-3.gc2.i386.rpm, and the problem with auto-hide persists.. I am about to try gnome-panel-2.4.1-0.gc1.i386.rpm 2.4.1-0.gc1 is working a little better than the 2.4.0 version. however, when I move the mouse into the panel, the drawer automatically opens, which keeps the panel from hiding. once I close the drawer the panel hides. OK, I do not use autohide so that problem does not "bother" me and I have not looked to see if it have been fixed upstream. At this point, the choice (IMHO) is having the buttons in a drawer work (2.4.1) but if panel hiding is used, the drawer(s) auto open OR have the buttons in drawers not work at all. *** Bug 109323 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 109575 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 109864 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 110836 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 110841 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Whats going on with me is that the drawer has the focus instead of the lauchers inside the drawer.

Whats going on with me is that the drawer has the focus instead of the lauchers inside the drawer. Clicking anywhere inside the drawer, like on one of the launchers, should activate the launcher, not the drawer. Someone needs to move the lauchers back on top? This bug was fixed with gnome-panel 2.4.1. Apologies in the delay in getting an update out. I'm going to release an update with gnome-panel 2.4.2, hopefully next week. I'll close this bug then. 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 Just updated to the testing release. Drawers work as expected. Thanks. Hallelujah! Fixed indeed. Many thanks. Drawers and autohiding work much better now, thanks. However, I noticed that with an empty (no launchers) unexpanded right panel (orientation right, uncheck expand, uncheck autohide, check show hide buttons, check arrows on hide buttons) it sometimes gets into a funk in either the top right or lower right corner and it just hides/unhides as fast as it can. (That's pretty damn fast!) I have a hell of a time trying to click on it to get it stop. I don't know if I like an unexpanded panel going all the way to the top or bottom of the screen when you click on the top or bottom (respectively) hide button. Sometimes when I click the bottom hide button it just moves the expanded panel so that it is right above the main panel. It stays expanded but does NOT cover up the clock or any other part of the main bottom panel. Other times is goes to an unexpanded panel with just the top expand button showing below the time displayed on the main panel. In this case it does cover up part of the main bottom panel. Thanks for testing the update. But please don't do the "However, I noticed this other bug..." thing - please open a new bug instead :-) O.K. I'm just learning bugzetiquette :) Bug 116741 is the new bug. Okay, a gnome-panel Fedora Core 1 Update (2.4.2-3) with a fix for this bug is now available from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/ |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Description of problem: When I insert any launchers in a drawer from gnome-panel, it works fine. I am able to click the launchers and the application opens (in my case, I put some "kinds" of Terminals in the drawer, like "My account terminal", "Root terminal", etc.) But after I log out from gnome and then log in again, I can't access the launchers in the drawer anymore. I click the icons and they simply don't "respond". It's just like I am clicking on an empty drawer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.4.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert a drawer in the gnome-panel 2.Insert any launchers in the drawer 3.Log out from gnome 4.Log in again into gnome 5.Try to access the launchers in the drawer Actual Results: Nothing happened. Expected Results: Tha applications in the drawer should have opened. Additional info:
