Bug Description

Steps to reproduce this:
1. click on "Applications"
2. place your cursor over some item in the middle with a submenu
3. wait for the submenu to open
4. move the cursor up to select the item above (in the applications menu, not the submenu)

Result:
The old item remains selected while the cursor is hovering the item above

Additional Information:
You are able to select the item by clicking or by using the keyboard. Also selecting the item above the current one works again without clicking or using the keyboard. All GtkMenus seem to be affected.

gtk version: 2.21.1-1ubuntu1

could you describe what you call "with a submenu"? you mean the category needs to have submenus listed?

In 2.21.0-1ubuntu2 it still worked, 2.21.1-1ubuntu1 was broken, but I'm not sure about the versions inbetween.

By submenu I mean for example in "Applications" "Internet" or "Office" have submenus, "Software-Center" doesn't have a submenu.

I think it might be a gtk upstream bug caused by this commit:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-2-22&id=43091232a2598c7d14834aec1e7b11806b1829c6
