UIManager submenu in a popup?

[Raymond Maple]

Hello,
   I've used uimanager to construct a popup menu that contains a <menu> with several <menuitem>s as follows:

    popup1 = """<ui>
    <popup name='Curve1'>
      <menuitem action = 'Edit_Curve'/>
      <menuitem action = 'Delete_Selected'/>
      <menu action = 'Display'>
        <menuitem action = 'Hide_Selection'/>
        <menuitem action = 'No_Points'/>
        <menuitem action = 'End_Points'/>
        <menuitem action = 'All_Points'/>
      </menu>
    </popup>
    </ui>"""

The resulting menu displays correctly, but the submenu action callbacks only execute If I click on the "Display" menu item to open up the submenu, and then click on the sub-item..  If i just hover over 'Display' until the  submenu opens and  then release over one of the submenu items, the action callback is not executed.  I've tried similar menus in a menubar, and they work correctly (hover-release executes the callback).  Is this a "feature" of gtk popups, or is there something I am missing?

thanks!

Take a look at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533492 , which
also suggests a workaround.
