Hello, this is my first post here, so hello again!

I have built and installed latest hildon-desktop from gitorious, and it actually seems to fix this.

If anyone wants to try, the deb can be found here (completely on your own risk, of course):
http://81.216.215.120/maemo/hildon-d...+0m5_armel.deb
UPDATE: This is an updated link with the version set to 2.2.138-1+0m5 (the same as in PR1.2). The real version still is 2.2.141-1 (or something like that) as per gitorious earlier today. This should solve the dependency problems introduced by my first attempt.

Caveat: This is the first time ever I build a deb file or compile anything for maemo at all.

EDIT: Note that this will overwrite any custom transitions, so you may want to backup /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini . Also, note that this version should support setting of scrolling speed, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...127#post798127 (not tested).

If you can't do it from here without further instructions, then you probably shouldn't (and instead wait for a hopefully upcoming "unofficial pre-released updates" repository mentioned somewhere by MohammadAG and others). But a hint is 'dpkg -i' as root.)

Note that, according to what I read somewhere, this version may be automatically replaced with the PR1.2 version by apt-get upgrade. This can be solved by pinning the package (Hints here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...504#post790504
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap...pt-get.en.html
)

I haven't seen this happen or done this myself though, so no details from me.

BTW, my way to reproduce the bug was to drag/scroll a submenu with less than 15 items so that it bounces immediately a number of times. This always made it use 5-15 % CPU according to htop/top. To restart hildon-desktop, just 'killall hildon-desktop'.

After installation of this deb + 'killall hildon-desktop'/reboot, I can't reproduce it anymore.
