Hi

It started happening to me today and it was really becoming annoying.
This is how I fixed it.

Open a terminal[Menu->Terminal]
and run this

Code: Select all

gconf-editor

click on apps->mintmenu
clear pin_menu checkbox

Although i fixed it i was puzzled as to how it happened.
After reading this thread i can see that what i did was fat-finger
the mouse buttons while i was in the Mint Menu.

Glad i wasn't the only person this happened to, otherwise i would
never know what i did to fsck it up.

cheers

Thanks a lot. I just had this problem and after following these directions it fixed it right away. I had no idea what was going on haha. To anyone who does have this problem in the future. After installing gconf-editor remember to logout like someone had mentioned previously and then once you log back in everything should work again.

Then start a new thread. It is best not to tag on to old topics.
