Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.14+3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

For flavours of the Gnome 3 desktop there is a bug with the Applications menu
where the mouse pointer can be moved above a category (“Favourites”,
“Accessories”, “Education”...) that has not not gained focus within the
menu context.

The normal behaviour is that the category that the mouse is over is focused (as
indicated by a change in contrast of the area surrounding the category text),
and the applications with in the category are listed to the right.

Often when the mouse pointer is moved from one category to the next the bug is
observed.  What is observed is that the previously high lit category is
defocused, but the category area that the mouse has entered dose not gain
focus.

Also when moving the mouse to the right from a category over to an application
the category looses focus, but the application over which the mouse now resides
fails to gain focus.

Attached is a screen dump of the applications menu when the mouse is over the
"Sundry" category.  You will observe that the application menu is still on that
of "System Tools", and that none of the categories currently have focus.
