I'm assuming it's something to do with the orage clock, since the panel always reads 12:00 when it's frozen. I can still right-click on the panel and get a context menu while it's frozen. However, mouse-over highlights don't appear and all applets no longer update their displays. I'm running version 4.4.1-ubuntu3 of xfce4-panel and 4.4.1-1ubuntu1 of orage. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add orage-clock to the panel. 2. Set the time to 23:59:45. 3. Twiddle your thumbs. Actual Results: Occasionally, the panel will stop updating--buttons no longer suddenly become beveled upon mouseover, the pager stops indicating the active workspace/window, the system tray stops showing new icons, etc. Right clicks on the panel will still bring up the context menu for the appropriate plugin. Confusingly, you can reorder the plugins; while the change will not have any visual impact, right clicking will bring up the appropriate context menu. Expected Results: World peace. I'd settle for the panel continuing to function, though. distro: xubuntu gutsy xfce4-panel: 4.4.1-1ubuntu3 orage: 4.1.1-1ubuntu1
what are the strings used in your orage clock? all three rows and the hint? Orage clock is external plugin so it should be able to cause problems to the panel. Have you trued killing the panel pluging from os? Did that help?
I can't understand how this could be happening. and even if it is, it is a bug in panel since orage clock is external plugin, which should make it safe to use.
Apologies for the sluggish response. This bug seem to have been filed in error; I thought I was using the orage clock, but I seem to have switched back to the normal clock plugin at some point. Also, I can't seem to reproduce the bug anymore on Ubuntu hardy. Thanks for taking a look, though.
