gnome-panel stops automatically hiding itself if trisquel menu is clicked again before appearing for the first time

Description

Hi,

when gnome-panel is configured to automatically hiding itself, if the user click on the Trisquel icon and click again before the menu to appear, gnome-panel stops hiding itself.

That happens in Trisquel 5.5 also.

I attach a xzipped video of it, recorded with recordmydesktop. Perhaps a better way of getting it working again would be to fire "gnome-panel --replace" instead of "pkilling" it; anyway...

I can't reproduce this bug. Can you update your Trisquel 6.0 installation and see if the problem persists ?

It is updated. Though I didn't try it in a computer with 100% graphic support (Intel instead of nVidia). Will do it tomorrow. (edit, 07 jan 2013: I tried it, and the same happens there.)

P. S. It also happens with alt+F1 instead of right_mouse_button.

P. P. S. At the first time of the command (either right_mouse_button over the menu or alt+F1) after login, there is a lot of HDD activity; I do separate the partitions:

$ df -h

Perhaps trying in a slow machine (or in a Virtual Machine whose performance you could tune by changing the computer resources it is allowed to consume) would allow someone to check this out.
