Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

every stickynote shown on the desktop has a context menu, which shows on a right click. since karmic, only a tiny rectangle (4x30 pixel) shows, and nothing is visible/clickable, thus no change of font, font-size or colour is possible.

The other bug had to do with the properties window, but that seems to be working fine in Ubuntu 9.10. This bug is about the context menu.

still doesn't work in 2.30.0-_0ubuntu2
to be precise: it's the context-menu of the title-bar, where eg font or color can be chosen,
not the one within the text-area, this one does work (and did)

work around:

Meanwhile we can open at least the individual notes properties by double-click
into the titlebar of the note.

apparently fixed upstream not yet in ubuntu
