[Bug 1317098] Re: Menu transparency behaves strangely

I haven't come across any other glitches yet (it's a fairly fresh install).  Interesting that it only manifests with some C-D themes.

No change

That's not going to be convenient for me just now.  If I get a chance in the next week or so and the issue is still open, I'll let you know.

> about the position, menus are actually supposed to pop above the icon, not upon it, maybe a problem with the WM
Interesting.  I'll report on this, too, if I get chance to play with a dual OpenBox/other WM setup.

> can you just check that the dock has been compiled with the same version of GTK as what you have
	Cairo-Dock version : 3.3.99.beta1
	Compiled date      : Apr 21 2014 17:43:57
	Built with GTK     : 3.10
	Running with OpenGL: 1
and I have 3.10.8-0ubuntu1

Title:
  Menu transparency behaves strangely

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. In the menus (applications menu, right-click menus), items often
  lose their backgrounds (become fully transparent) when the mouse has
  touched them (and they stay that way until the menu is closed and re-
  opened.

  2.  AFAICT, the menus use the default fill, and there's no way through
  the GUI (I haven't tinkered around with the config files yet) to
  override this.  Worse, I can find no way to set the text colour, so
  the menus in the theme I'm building currently appear black on black.
  This may be me being stupid.

  My setup: Cairo-Dock 3.3.99.beta1, Lubuntu Trusty 64bit, (currently
  running on OpenBox without LXDE), Compton, Intel GM965/GL960 graphics.
  I've attached an affected theme.
