Comment 49 for bug 108951

This is actually really sad.

It seems like the nature of the problem is well understood. There is a
ton of confirmation. The exact area that needs to be fixed has been
identified, but the responsible parties just point fingers at each
other.

Oh well.

If they have another Paper Cuts jam, I am definitely submitting this
bug report. It is HUGE now.

But after adding to the drawer a link to a simple text file (so that, when clicked, gedit opens with this textfile), opening the drawer requires up to three clicks in the applet (the applet wont open until the third click). And even then,  the drawer opens just a bit and then some three seconds later it fully opens showing its contents.
