Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2786
Menus disappear as soon as the mouse leaves menu bar
Last modified: 2003-03-11 17:54:40 UTC
After downloading the 641 build I noticed that I'm no longer able to use the menu bar. After clicking a menu bar item the menu pops up but it disappears as soon I move the mouse down to click an item. All of OpenOffice components display this behaviour, and all other GUI enabled programs that I run do not. I'm running Debian/GNU Linux Sid (unstable), along with XFree86 4.1.0, GTK 1.2 and Ximian Gnome 1.4.

Hi, I think this is a Sawfish setting issue. This issues was supposed to be fixed in the very latest respin build OOo (OO641C). So please make sure you are using the latest version of OOo (641C) and if so, search the Issuezilla database and you will find a workaround for changing the settings of Sawfish focus. Hope this helps, Kevin
Yes I am running Sawfish, and yes I am running OOo build 641C. Changing focus policy from 'enter-exit' to 'enter-only' fixed the menu behaviour. Still I believe that there is something to be done in OOo, because no other application I run had this problem ever. Thanks and good luck in hunting the bug down ;-)
Hi, A fix for this in vcl has already been included in the PPC Linux OO641C build and was tested by some Sawfish users and it seemed to do the trick. So perhaps this fix did not get tagged in time for the x86 Linux build? Either way, a fix does exist already and it should make it into the next release for all UNIX platforms. Thanks, Kevin
