[edgy] middle clicking doesn't close menu

I was able to reproduce this. Pretty interesting: After clicking with the middle mouse button, neither the left nor the right mouse button does work.

That works fine for me. What focus mode do you use?

What do you mean by "focus mode"?

Okay, I use none.

does the windows get the focus on mouseover or do you need to click on them?

I have to click on them.

Sebastien: is the panel locked down? In that case the bug won't "work".

I've found the source of the bug -- when you press the middle mouse button the program attempts to begin a "drag" instead of handling the press as usual. The attached patch fixes this (I hope). Some things I suggest checking, assuming that the patch is accepted:

* is there a better way to detect if a menu is open other than detecting a grab

* is the comment accurate (is there a grab only if a menu is open)

* is there a named constant that can be used instead of "2" to refer to the middle mouse button, to make the code self-documenting.

No response, so I'll report this bug upstream.

Forwarding upstream would be nice, thank you. We have some thousand desktop bugs at the moment and only few people working on them so we have difficulties tocope with them and it takes time to reply

Did you forwarded that upstream? I still don't get that bug on my desktop

I do not get the bug on Feisty anymore.

I reported it upstream and it was fixed:

(I should have mentioned this before...)

No problem, thank you for the update, marking fixed then
