Bug Description

Binary package hint: alacarte

Here's how to reproduce the bug:

1. Launch alacarte menu editor by going to System > Preferences > Main Menu.
2. Click on _any_ item listed under the 'Menus' tree. You'll see that 'Move Up' / 'Move Down' / 'New Separator' buttons are disabled.
3. However, the 'Properties' button is enabled. On clicking this button, nothing happens.

So, either a properties dialog box should pop-up OR the 'Properties' button should be disabled when the selected item is something from the 'Menus' tree.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10. I don't know whether this bug exists in 9.04 (not downloaded yet), so maybe someone who's already installed 9.04 can check whether this bug exists in 9.04 too.

There's a related bug to this:

1. Under 'Items', click on any item and then click 'New Separator' button.
2. Click on the separator which has been added. You'll see that the 'Properties' button is enabled.

Do I file this as a new bug, or add this as a comment here (already have) and in Bugzilla?

No need to file a new bug, I'm working on this. The upstream version has no properties and delete button, so I don't think they will care for this. ;-)

closed the upstream bug as Andreas said it's not a GNOME issue, that change was introduced by Ubuntu, thanks all.
