Bug#893163: caja-dropbox: drop down menu does not appears when clicking on icon (left or right click) in version 1.20

[Tedo Vrbanec]

Package: caja-dropbox
Version: 1.16.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
Regular update of package caja-dropbox from 1.16 to 1.20 at Debian buster
(testing), MATE DE

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I just installed update. Btw, when downgrade to 1.16, everything is OK again. I
tried few times to be completely sure that caja-dropbox is the cose of this
behaviour. Now I have freezed the package.

* What was the outcome of this action?
Dropbox options and actions from dropdown (actually, for me it is rising menu,
because I have panel in bottom of desktop) menu are not usable. There is only
pixel or two of visible menu, hardly even seen.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
Dropdown menu with options.

What version is impacted for you ? 1.16 or 1.20 or both ? In the subject
you talk about 1.20 and in the report the version field is 1.16.0-1.

Best regards,

It seems the bug appears in 1.18, see this upstream report :
https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja-dropbox/issues/27

Package: caja-dropbox
Version: 1.20.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #893163

Hi.

I also have this problem. Contrary to what Martin Wimpress said at
https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja-dropbox/issues/27#issuecomment-373908072,
I have the exact problem described by the original poster here on Debian,
with my system as up-to-date as possible.

Just for the record, I'm not using any indicator applet (to be sure, I
always get confused between this indicator vs. notification thing).

Also, I'm not sure if the workaround suggested at
https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja-dropbox/issues/27#issuecomment-373982493
is supposed to fix things only for those people using the indicator applet
or to everybody, but I just did the following at a terminal and the dropdown
menus continue with the same problem:

export XDG_DESKTOP_SESSION=Unity
caja-dropbox start

Should I do anything else?


Thanks in advance,

Rogério Brito.

Hi,

I have noticed that the latest version of caja-dropbox (1.20.0-2) in Debian
testing poses tray-icon problem, i.e., when I click on the tray-icon all I
get is a blank column.

I tried various other methods to get it work, in the end got frustrated so
much that I wanted to see if the earlier version of caja-dropbox (1.20.0-1)
works as intended, and to my surprise it does - the tray-icon is back now.

Thanks.

best regards,

Subramanian

Hello AR Subramanian,

Thank you for the report.

I've added Martin in CC that has already work on such issue for Ubuntu.
I assume it's pretty the same.

Best regards,
Alex.

Hi,

So, everyone seems to have this issue exactly with version 1.20.0-2. It's the version
where 2003_fake_xdg_current_desktop.patch had been added [1]. I've done some testing
and I can say this patch does the wrong thing. See my comment with screenshot at [2]
for more info.

Therefore I suggest removing that patch.

Side note: in [2] I've mentioned only testing in Ubuntu-based system, but I've got
the same result in current Debian Testing.

Only remove that patch? Or add some other code?

Yes, only remove it. My tests showed that it's enough to fix the menu (as I wrote
in the upstream report).

Oh, I s
