Interface issue with chrome

mugz · Jul 27, 2012, 9:36 AM

I have a problem when trying to use any of the dropdown menus in the interface. As soon as the menu opens and i try to make a selection the menu disapears again giving me no chance to open up anything.
They all do it but it only happens with chrome(20.0.1132.57 linux). I havent tried an earlier version but it works fine with Firefox(14.0.1). Don't know if this is a chrome or pfsense bug either way i figured i'd post it here.
Not sure when this bug happend the first time because i don't update that often, the last update before the one that started giving me problems is about a month old.

Edit: If im really quick going down with my mouse from above the menu without waiting for it to popup i can use it and it wont dissapear, kinda tricky with the vpn section though.

The scrollable dropdown menu change http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,49805.0.html happened a month or so ago. It does say:

Tested in: Firefox 12/13, Chrome 19.0.1084.46, IE 8 and 9

The main commits for this are at and around https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/pull/144
Maybe Chrome 20.n or running on Linux or whatever combination might be a problem?
Then again, it might be a totally different cause.

Aha that could be it. Well i mainly use 2.1 beta because it's better behaved when running inside a VM using KVM. So i don't really keep up to date on most things, if it works it works, if something doesn't work i report it.

But if you guys want me to try something or post some logs i'm glad to help.

I'm not seeing this here (but using either the Windows version of Chrome or a slightly outdated version for Linux). Are you using pfsense-ng or another theme? Do you have any packages installed?

I'm using the default theme. No extra packages or anything, the only thing i did was import the settings from my old 2.0 install. Seems to happen a bit more on my desktop then on my laptop both running fedora 17(gnome3). On the desktop it's pretty much guaranteed to happen.

Sorry for the late reply i kinda forgot about posting here.
