[Bug 1830422] Re: Long Gtk menu into appindicator1 cannot be scrolled: arrow bars are absent

 

Thanks, the issue is rather on the indicator side than on the library,
reassigning to gnome-shell (but it could be the extension instead)

** Package changed: libappindicator (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

Title:
  Long Gtk menu into appindicator1 cannot be scrolled: arrow bars are
  absent

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am using appindicator-1.0 in conjunction with Gtk+2.0 menu. Menu
  consist of constant items and many dynamically added items. If the
  screen pixel resolution is not so good as it must be then the last
  menu items are not visible. Ubuntu 16.04 automatically add top and
  bottom bars with "^" and "v" arrows to scroll menu when mouse pointer
  is over these bars. But in Linux Ubuntu 18.04 (and 19.04 too) such
  scrolling bars are not appearing.

  On the other hand menu scrolling is working fine anywhere into usual
  GTK window with menu bar (without using appindicator). Ubuntu 16.04
  and Ubuntu 18.04 use the same 12.10.1 libappindicator version.

  Here is the test c program which illustrates the issue. It works fine
  in Linux Ubuntu 16.04 and has the described above problem in Linux
  18.04:

  #include <gtk/gtk.h>
  #include <libappindicator/app-indicator.h>

  #define LOGO_PNG "/home/super/my-project/menu-test/logo.png"

  AppIndicator* c_indicator;
  GtkWidget* c_menu;

  void menu_quit_cb(GtkMenuItem* menuitem, gpointer user_data)
  {
      gtk_main_quit();
  }

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
      gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

      int i;
      GtkWidget* item;
      char title[128];

      c_menu = gtk_menu_new();

      item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("Quit");
      g_signal_connect(item, "activate", G_CALLBACK(menu_quit_cb), NULL);
      gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(c_menu), item);
      gtk_widget_show(item);

      gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(c_menu),
  gtk_separator_menu_item_new());

      for (i = 1; i <= 100; ++i) {
          snprintf(title, sizeof(title), "Item #%03u", i);
          item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label(title);
          gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(c_menu), item);
          gtk_widget_show(item);
      }

      //

      c_indicator = app_indicator_new("Menu Test", LOGO_PNG, APP_INDICATOR_CATEGORY_APPLICATION_STATUS);
      app_indicator_set_status(c_indicator, APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ACTIVE);
      app_indicator_set_icon(c_indicator, LOGO_PNG);
      app_indicator_set_menu(c_indicator, GTK_MENU(c_menu));

      gtk_main();

      return 0;
  }
