Tear off menues not working with Gimp

[redraven]

Hi

Usually I could tear off menus when using gimp. This is done by clicking on the dashes from the menu. When I do this with the Gimp today I will just get menu up, but are unable to activate any of the menu items. Oddly enough I get help text shown in the main/canvas window of Gimp.

Is there any setting in gnome that needs to be activated to have the menus work again?

Using: Ubuntu 10.04, Gimp 2.6.8

Example of tear off menu:

The menus you are looking for are no longer part of the drop-down menus, but rather part of a right-click menu visible when clicking on the canvas.

I found using the space bar after clicking the menu option worked on torn off menus. This may be a bug.
