[Bug 965953] Re: Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen bottom

[baptx]

I can confirm that my workaround (removing indicator packages) does not work anymore with Xubuntu 18.10. Even using "dbus-launch nm-applet" workaround does not work anymore. You can easily reproduce the issue by having WiFi switched off and when you switch it on, you will have to scroll to see all the network names.
Another problem now is that when I click on the network manager system trail button to connect to network for example, I cannot use button anymore for several seconds and have to wait so it becomes available. I don't know if this issue is related.
If there is no other workaround, users could switch to Lubuntu which has the menu bar at the bottom by default and it now comes preinstalled with LXQt (the creator of LXDE switch from GTK to Qt because he was not satisfied).

Title:
  Indicator menus are too short and scroll when opened from screen
  bottom

Status in GTK+:
  Expired
Status in Indicator Applet:
  Invalid
Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.

  Is it possible to fix this annoying behaviour?
