Has the Appindicator or GtkMenu API changed in Saucy? [closed]

Solution 1:

TL;dr: It is a bug. Below are the reasons why it's a bug.

The bug was marked as Triaged, meaning: Yeah, we acknowledge there is a problem. We will try to fix it when we have time. The bug is filled against libappindicator source.

As can seen in comment 8 the bug is reproducible. So, yeah, everyone is able to see the problem, and will be looking for a solution, or a workaround (adhoc solution).

Here is a briefing of what status means:

Triaged:

• A member of UbuntuBugControl believes that the report describes a genuine bug in enough detail that a developer could start working on a fix. (also see tip below)
• Use this when you are confident that it should be looked at by a developer and has enough information

Solution 2:

I've been investigating this bug further today and I found that even though adding menu items does not work, removing them still does. Therefore this is unlikely to be an intentional API change.
