bug#6608: Menu bar not working

[Angelo Graziosi]

With Emacs 24 trunk rev. 100771, GTK build, on GNU/Linux Kubuntu 10.04, 
when I click (mouse-1) on an item of menu bar, 'Options' for example, it 
opens only for a fraction of a second then is immediately closed. In 
this way it is difficult to work wit menu bar items: one should hold 
mouse-1 pressed and move the mouse, and this is very uncomfortable.

Ciao,
Angelo.

I would ask if this is related to BUG #6603...

I can't imagine how it could be.  6603 is about "C-h f", not about
popping the menus.  And it is specific to the native w32 build.

In any case, 6603 is solved in the repository, so trying the latest
trunk should tell.

Same problem with rev. 100776. I thought *that* because clicking on an 
item of menu bar ('Options', for example), *pop-ups* the menu only for a 
fraction of a second, and because it is very recent. It does not happen 
with the build I did 20100708: there, clicking, opens (pop-ups) 
'Options', for example, and it remains opened up to one chooses 
something ('Case-insensitive search', for example), or clicks in some 
other place.

Ciao,
Angelo.

bug#6608: Menu bar not working

[Jan Djärv]

I can for the life of me not reproduce this, neither on trunk, 100771 or 
100776.  Please give some more info, like compiler version, architecture (32 
or 64-bit?), Gtk+ version?  Optimise flags to the compiler?  I assume you can 
repeat this with emacs -Q?  I don't have Kubuntu 10.04, but regular Ubuntu 10.04.

Now, the Motif menus have problems though, different for Lesstif and 
Openmotif.  Openmotif ones behave like you describe, Lesstif doesn't but they 
don't close right.  I don't know if this is related.

I see the problem on the emacs-23 branch as well as the trunk.

  In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
    of 2010-07-11 on furry
  Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10706000
  configured using `configure  'CC=gcc' 'CFLAGS=-g''

It does not happen on every click, but a majority of them.
Reverting the following change seems to remove the problem:

2010-07-03  Jan Djärv  <jan.h.d@swipnet.se>

  * xmenu.c (x_activate_menubar): Send Press/Release for Gtk+ to avoid
  grab on just Press (Bug#6499).

I'll revert that then, but it can't be that change that is responsible for the 
same beahviour in Motif menu bars.

AFAIR, Emacs built with Motif always behaved like that.  Caveat: last
time I tried a Motif Emacs was several years ago.

bug#6608: Menu bar not working

[Jan Djärv]

I just tried an older version om the emacs-23 branch.  It sometimes don't open 
the menu, but sometimes it does (50/50).  I must try on an even older version. 
  Anyway, if it did behave that way before, I'd say that was a bug.

Not that people seem to be using Motif much anymore, the build for Motif on 
the trunk was broken for several months until I tried to build it last week.

You are talking about the same change :-).  But a fix for both this bug and 
6499 is needed. I'm on it but it may take a few days.

Definitively, NOT FIXED, for me.

As it clearly says below: "the emacs-23 branch".  It has not even propagated

Hmm... This means that #6608 should not be closed as 'FIXED' if we can't 
verify this on trunk.

Just for completeness, rev.100823 contains a new 'xmenu.c' file which, 
then, is not yet good for us :-).

??? Why?  The problem is fixed on a branch.  No one says it must only
be fixed on the trunk If you want it with the trunk now and cannot
wait for the merge, you can merge it yourself, manually.  If it later
turns out that the fix does not solve the problem, the bug could be
reopened.

Please don't increase the burden of those who fix bugs more than it is
already.

Eli, as you can see, I wrote also:

So, one expected the fix was propagated to trunk... and the request to 
non close the bug was only by precaution, just to avoid the overload 'of 
those who fix bugs'. Evidently, my mental processes are too simple.

Thanks for your work and *Sorry* for the noise.

Ciao, Angelo.

No, that cant be it.  These are all #ifdef USE_LUCID or USE_MOTIF changes.
