Original description:
When I click on a sidebar entry for the first time, the menu bar disappears and reappears. It doesn't happen again if I return to that page, but will any time I visit a page for the first time. This leads me to believe this has something to do with creating a page for the first time.

This happens in Shotwell 0.7 on the Maverick (10.10) desktop as of Sep 27. Upping to release.

It turns out that this happens only on Maverick machines where Unity is installed. Note that this bug occurs when running on the normal desktop, not inside a Unity session. But the presence of the Unity libraries apparently causes the bug.

This is no longer an issue in Natty. The global menu is enabled both in the normal and classic desktops, so there is no flashing. If I disable the global menu by uninstalling the appmenu-gtk package, then Shotwell works normally. Closing.

I see this problem today on Natty in "Ubuntu Classic" mode. Reopening. #4003 (closed) is definitely a duplicate (albeit more limited in scope) of this. I've seen this problem a lot since the flashing occurs every time you switch to a tag view for the first time and, what with implementing HTags, I've been looking at a lot of tag views...

Closing this ticket. Sebastian at Desktop Summit confirmed to Lucas that running Natty or Oneiric with appmenu-gtk uninstalled is not a supported configuration.

Jim, I don't understand why you closed this since Lucas reported this in an Ubuntu Classic session, but didn't say he was running without the global menu. (As I mentioned in comment 10 above, the global menu is enabled by default in both the normal and classic desktops.)
Lucas, are you still seeing this in Ubuntu Classic with the global menu enabled? If the answer is yes, then let's keep this open (but not at a high priority). If not, please reclose this.

I'm running Ubuntu Oneiric without the global menu: I've disabled it by uninstalling the indicator-appmenu package. In comment 13 above, Jim said that Ubuntu considers this an unsupported configuration. I would nevertheless like this to be considered a supported configuration at Yorba, since I think that many of our users may wish to run Ubuntu without the global menu active.
In this configuration, the menu works fine in Shotwell 0.11, which uses GTK 2. In the trunk GTK 3 build, the menu flashes horribly each time I select a new sidebar item.

This does not appear to be fixed. I'm still running Oneiric without the global menu. Whenever I open a photo or a new sidebar item, the menu bar vanishes and reappears, which causes the entire view to shift up and down briefly. This is distracting, and makes it hard to use Shotwell without the global menu active.

We committed a fix that uses a wrapper widget to avoid the menu flashing.
