Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-messages

The other indicators seem to work fine - it is just the messaging menu.

The effect: I see I have a message from someone, I go to the menu. Menu button appears selected. The menu is not showing. Clicking on it does nothing.

To fix (as a user): click on another indicator seems to bring it back to life.

To reproduce: I can't reliably but it has happened a few times. Twice with Evan as a witness!

I had the same issue a few days ago, but I had this with the first indicator (bug #755436 - no matter what it was - weather indicator, radiotray, or bluetooth indicator). Was the messaging menu the first indicator in the indicator area?

No it wasn't. It sits consistently 4th from the right.

Ivanka, I believe you are using Unity, and can confirm that I see this issue sometimes too.

Maroti, you reported two bugs in one. one issue is this bug and the other is bug 681938 (although its title is about the workspace switcher but the root cause is the same)
