Thanks Jiahua, I was able to test it out with your instructions. It looks like your patch fixes the problem, thanks!
However there's a slight issue: with the patch applied, when you open an indicator, the menu flickers near the top of the screen for a split second before aligning back down to the bottom where it should be. (Or perhaps the menu opens up to double-size and the instantly shrinks back to normal size, it goes so fast it's hard to tell.) This doesn't seem to affect usability, but it's very noticeable and detracts a bit from the smoothness of the UI. Is there anything that can be done for that? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965953 Title: indicator applet with scroll arrows Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Invalid Status in Indicator Applet: Confirmed Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The indicator applet, installed by default in classic session of Precise, appears with just some up and down scroll arrows, and I have to scroll down before it fills in and shows the 3 items, and then the scroll arrows disappear.
