Mint Menu/Synaptic bug?

Post by darco »

When I click on the Mint Menu and choose Package Manager, it does not open if I leave the mouse cursor hovering over the entry I just clicked. If I immediately move the cursor to the desktop and click anywhere, then it opens properly and ask for my password.
Has anyone noticed this?

This is an old and well documented bug that just will not go away. See these posts for possible fixes:

With a little effort, I'm sure you could find several more.
