#116 Menu pops up in the center of the screen

[Thomas Novin]

After logging in, I have the Parcellite menu in the center of the screen. The same that you can activate by ctrl-alt-P by default. I have to make a selection to make it go away. For example about, and then close that.

This happened since upgrading to Ubuntu Trusty/14.04.

Confirm it, now have the bug, it's after upgrading the parcellite to Parcellite 1.1.7.
Note. If the parcellite runs on terminal, the bug are not present, but on terminal' command line has last line of clipboard!
I'm use Xbuntu 14.04

What version of parcellite are you running? Ubuntu seems to be the most troublesome distribution... Nevermind...I see from the Launchpad it is 1.1.6

What was the previous revision of Parcellite? Can you go back to that version and see if it still happens?

[Thomas Novin]

It has since the report upgraded to 1.1.7-1

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/parcellite

Previously I was running Ubuntu 13.10 which has 1.1.5-1.

I can reproduce by not adding it to auto start and then starting it manually after logging in. If I kill it, start it again, the same symptom.

I removed 1.1.7-1 and installed the deb from Saucy/13.10 and no popup.. but, also no tray icon.

One more strangeness with this, I have even encountered a possibly related problem while at the lock screen, if I go to the tray icons with the mouse and hover over something the menu from parcellite becomes visible. Parcellite itself is not visible on the lock screen.
