This means, that you cannot turn off panel edit mode.\r\n\r\nActually I reported this in the beta testing blog and the issue is still present. I give some more info about it:\r\n\r\nTest environment: VirtualBox 5.0.30; guest additions installed. The issue is independent, if 3D support is activated in the settings for the VM or not.\r\nUsed: Mint 18.1 64 bit, beta build (formerly) and fresh installed final release.\r\n\r\nAs long as the panel is not moved from the default (bottom) position, all works as expected.\r\n\r\nAs soon as I move the panel to any other place (top or side) I can enter the panel edit mode via right clicking the panel. But if I right click the panel again to leave panel edit mode nothing happens. I can click as often as I want.\r\nThis is not an issue of the pointing device because right clicking the desktop works at once. Actually right clicking the desktop and maneuvering to the panel settings dialog is the only possible way to get out of this situation.\r\nNote: If I am not in panel edit mode the right clicks on the panel work as expected.\r\n\r\nEven if I move the panel back to the bottom, activating panel edit mode and right clicking in panel edit mode (for leaving it) does nothing.\r\n\r\nFurther finding:\r\nIf the panel is placed at the bottom or top the problem can get cured by restarting Cinnamon (ctrl-alt-esc). Once Cinnamon has been restarted, I can enter and leave panel edit mode via right clicking the panel as often as I wish (as long as I do not move the panel again).\r\nIf the panel is placed at the left or the right restarting Cinnamon helps so far, as this quits the panel edit mode. But if I now enter pane edit mode again, I still cannot leave it via right clicking the panel.\r\n\r\nglass.log does not contain anything regarding the bug.\r\n\r\nAll level 1 to 3 updates until today have been applied. After that also all level 4 & 5 have been applied. This did not change anything for this issue.\r\n\r\nHope this helps to make the bug reproducible."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/comments/269792271","html_url":"https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/6140#issuecomment-269792271","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/6140","id":269792271,"user":{"login":"brownsr","id":6322481,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6322481?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr","html_url":"https://github.com/brownsr","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brownsr/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-30T16:37:59Z","updated_at":"2016-12-30T16:37:59Z","body":"Thanks for your accurate details on how to reproduce this.  I can reproduce it on virtualbox 5.0.24 in 'live' mode.  I can also offer you a workaround (which is further information that might lead to the source of the issue).  It only appears to happen if the central box in a panel is empty.  If you drag any applet in there then right click works fine. That includes the window list, even if empty because no applications are running, and even a spacer applet [dragging these in can be a bit fiddly] if you want the centre of the panel to look unoccupied\r\n\r\nI do see a couple of errors at various times in the .xsession-errors log which might be related:\r\n\r\nmeta_screen_get_monitor_geometry  assertion 'monitor >=0 && monitor < screen -> n_monitor_infos failed\"\r\n\r\ncinnamon_tray_manager_manage_stage:  assertion manager->priv->stage == NULL  failed\r\n\r\nI'll see if I can reproduce it on bare metal now, to see if it is just related to running in virtualbox, or to live mode."}}
