9610 - [PP]Drop-down menus are empty on linux/gtk

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 7417

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Kenneth Herron]

Start apprunner, click on "File", "Edit", etc.  The word highlights, but no
menu appears.  There's a little bitty box attached to the bottom of the "File"
highlight which is probably an empty menu list.  I still get gtkcontainer
assertion failures as I move from one menu heading to another.

I pulled fresh source and rebuilt this morning.  I think the last time I ran
apprunner was friday evening or saturday morning, and menus worked then.
Menus also work fine in the viewer app.

I'm looking at the 1999071109 build and I can't repro the problem. I've noticed the little bitty boxes you mentioned before and
they are indeed still there. I get the sense that the menus are taking a little longer to draw when switching between them but they
are drawing for me.

Did "cvs update; configure; make clean; make" and tried apprunner again.
It still happens.  When I click on "File" (or any of the others) the "File"
highlights, but instead of the drop-down menu I just get a teeny square maybe
2x2 attached to the bottom of the "File" highlight.  I presume this little
square is a menu with no menu items in it.  As I go from menu to menu I get
assertion failures:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 723 (gtk_container_remove): assertion
`widget->parent == GTK_WIDGET (container)' failed.

These have been appearing for a few weeks in conjuction with leaving menus, and
I think there's another bug report on them, but they're a sign that at some
level the menu code thinks it's working.

I'm using a modified xpt_link tool (see bug 9596).  Xpt_link isn't related to
menus...right?

It is not a really UI bug that belong to me. Maybe trudelle has someone can take
a closer look later?

marking as duplicate of flakey menu bug.  gtk_container_remove assertions are
duplicate of bug #6300
