Public bug reported: I have written a python program with an application indicator. Sometimes (about 1 over 3 times the complete program is started afresh), but not regularly, the indicator menu shows, the items are getting focus, but nothing happens when clicking.
I started the program from a terminal window, and expect that on clicking on any of the 4 buttons, output is printed to the terminal window, and at clicking on button 4 the program is also ended and the application icon removed. After most starts of the program, that happens, but sometimes (about 1 in 3) the buttons appear correctly, but nothing happens when they are clicked. A simplified version of my program is: import gi gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk gi.require_version('AppIndicator3', '0.1') from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator def maken_indicatorscherm(): APPINDICATOR_ID = 'ID_App_test' indicator = appindicator.Indicator.new(APPINDICATOR_ID, "whatever", appindicator.IndicatorCategory.APPLICATION_STATUS) indicator.set_status(appindicator.IndicatorStatus.ACTIVE) indicator.set_menu(build_menu()) gtk.main() def build_menu(): menu = gtk.Menu() item_open = gtk.MenuItem('Test 1') item_open.connect('activate', laat_EA_zien) menu.append(item_open) item_overzicht = gtk.MenuItem('text 2') item_overzicht.connect('activate', overzicht_EA) menu.append(item_overzicht) item_start = gtk.MenuItem('text 3') item_start.connect('activate', verberg_EA) menu.append(item_start) item_quit = gtk.MenuItem('Quit') item_quit.connect('activate', quitGTK) menu.append(item_quit) menu.show_all() return menu def quitGTK(source): print "Quit program" gtk.main_quit() def laat_EA_zien(source): print "show text 1" def overzicht_EA(source): print "show text 2" def verberg_EA(source): print "show text 3" if __name__ == '__main__': maken_indicatorscherm() I am using ubuntu: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 with python: 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] ** Affects: indicator-application (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712052 Title: indicator application menu freezes irregularly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/1712052/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
