Bug#321297: epiphany-browser: (since libgtk2.0-0 2.6.9-1) menus stop working after first page load

[Mourad De Clerck]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.6.4-1
Severity: important

Hi, after upgrading to libgtk2.0-0 version 2.6.9-1, I encountered a weird bug 
in Epiphany. When I launch it, and the home page gets loaded, the options in 
the menus ("File", "Edit" etc) are inactive, ie I can click on them but nothing
happens. They're not greyed out, it just has no effect when you click on a 
bookmark, click on "Find", etc. When I launch Epiphany and prevent the page 
from loading, the menus still work; at least until a website gets loaded. Some 
kind of weird focus bug/interaction with mozilla/gtk?

I filed this under Epiphany and not libgtk, because epiphany is the only (gtk) 
app where I encountered this behaviour; but it's clear the problem started with
gtk 2.6.9 - the problem disappears when I downgrade to 2.6.8.

Feel free to reassign to libgtk2.0-0 if you feel it's appropriate.

Thanks,

-- Mourad DC
