 When running GRASS (6.4 or 7.0) under Ubuntu (11.10 and 12.04), the slider
 to move up/down in the dropdown list of maps does not work. It does appear
 (see attached screenshot), but when clicking on it it disappears.

 This affects all screens with the option to select a layer (i.e., the gui
 of almost all grass functions)

 It is also not possible to move down or up the list with maps using the
 keyboard arrow (should that be a feature request?). Thus, the only two
 ways to select maps is by scrolling using the mouse wheel, or, when one
 wants to select one map only, typing in the first letter(s) of the map
 name.

 Although specific to Ubuntu (I suspect), it does seriously affect the user
 experience of these users (not to be overly dramatic, but to illustrate
 the problem, I finally got to report this because I am getting RSI
 problems due to too much use of the mouse wheel)
