This doesn't work perfectly however and I often manage to open two menus in Tracker: the desktop one and the specific menu for a given icon (you have to be fast to do this - right click on the desktop and then on the icon a short time after that, but before the first menu is open). Usually this is harmless and only leads to the two menus opening. But today I went to KDL. {{{ PANIC: vm_page_fault: unhandled page fault in kernel space at 0x706f78, ip 0x80084ba2 }}} The panic is in wait_for_thread_etc, called by BPopUpMenu::_Go. It seems that it's trying to access invalid thread data. I should note that I was trying to replicate the CDDA panics/corruption, so that may be the actual problem... -- -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11452#comment:1> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
