gnome prob with expandable menus

[dewittdale]

I ran guest additions on a brand new ubuntu 8.0.4 with xp host. The mouse clicks the expanding menus on any gnome display (file browser etc or terminal)(the terminal will replicate itself using right click!) and must be held down and moved to select. Otherwise it is normal prior to the guest addition. Normal meaning one clicks the field and the expanded items available for selection remain expanded until one hence clicks the desired item. This problem of more holding than necessary (i.e., arm fatigue/or battery drain) does not happen with the old ubuntu 7.10 version. This has been confirmed by me to be caused by the guest addition by two vm instances.

Replying to dewittdale: In addition the terminal will not remember input after shell session is killed.

Please reopen if this problem still persists with the latest version of VirtualBox.
