Main Menu Won't Display Sub-Menu-Items

[lonniebiz]

When I click on the Main Menu, in the "Program" window, it does some type of highlight effect, but no sub-menu-items get displayed.

How to reproduce:

I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 64bit edition.

I installed Cinelerra via the launch pad option listed here:
 http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu

After installation, I had to increase my shmmax like this:

(1) sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
(2) Add this to the end of the file:

kernel/shmmax=0x7fffffff

(3) Save.
(4) sudo sysctl -p

Also, tried rebooting, but that didn't help either.

I have the exact same problem - Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 64bit edition, installed from the same place as lonniebiz.

In my experience the menus very occasionally work, but only after clicking on them about 50 times.

I'm getting the same behaviour.
I installed Version: 1:2.1.5-0.14~ppa1~maverick1
Im running 32 bit ubuntu 10.10 (on a 64 bit computer)

I encountered the same problem on a 32bit Ubuntu 10.10

In fact to make the menu open I have to mouse over the text like if the menu were open, that is mousing over on a position lower than expected.

So in my case to open the menu is "just" awkward, not impossible.
