[Bug 48226] Autohide bugs

[jmspeex]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I'm noticing two (probably related) problems with the panel in autohide mode. Both seem to have to do with timing:
1) Sometimes when the panel un-hides, it jumps to the top of the screen (I have it at the bottom) so I need to move it down. This typically happens about twice a day.
2) When clicking on the main menu button, sometimes the panel hides itself and the menu pops up too low -- the bottom of the menu is aligned with the bottom of the screen instead of the top of the (still un-hiden) panel.
In both these cases, it seems to happen when un-hiding the panel (or bringing up the menu) requires a disk access (swap or files not in OS cache), causing a slight delay. That's why I'd say it's probably timing-related.

** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
