System prefs when too long/won't work...

[LittleOne]

Add a few more items to system prefs.. then try to click on the bottom ones... Oops!..

could you be a bit more detailed? Not really sure what you're talking about. Also, it's best to report bugs to the appropriate component in Bugzilla, as that makes sure they come to the attention of the relevant maintainer.

It's a "pain in the flonkblizzen" trying to get my account up in the Zilla stuff...
If it's against your rules I won't post glitches here anymore... Your call...


In the above glitch I added ten items to prefs., and when I click-up prefs I touch the little expand arrow, and the bottom items show, but when I try to set the cursor on one of the lower ones the lower ones disappear...

Durrr, how do you add items to system prefs?

[LittleOne]

Install a lot of stuff, then click up main menu, then add things to prefs...

[hellork]

I can duplicate the problem. I added 10 things to the System> References menu. I can scroll down to the bottom ones and they work just fine. Are you using custom window manager settings, icon themes, or compiz/desktop effects? What video card / drivers are you using?

[LittleOne]

It's a crappy old compaq.. no cards... Maybe I needs a real computer..? or this one needs a little more coal in the hopper, and water in the boiler..? Maybe I'll find one in next year's garage sales, or the gods will drop one in my lap for being such a good boy..?

I'll checkout compiz.. Thanks for the tip...

[hellork]

I would not recommend compiz or desktop-effects 3D compositing window managers on old laptops (although most of the desktop is run through basic 2D compositing anyway these days [metacity])..

[LittleOne]

Great!.. then I'll stick to basics with this tower.. till the day comes I flings it out the window over the balcony...
