Title:
  no menus if toolbox selected

Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you are using unity rather than gnome-classic and you happen to
  have the gimp toolbox or layers selected, there are no menus at the
  top of the screen.

  The problem particularly manifests itself if you need to perform an
  operation on a layer, as you will typically select the layer in the
  layer window, which gets rid of the menus, then when you attempt to
  access the layer menu at the top you notice it disappeared when you
  selected the layer. Then you have to click back onto the main window
  to make the menu appear again. This behaviour is obviously really
  surprising (and irritating).

  I would guess its because only the main gimp window has the menus
  attached to it and the movable side windows don't have any menus.
  However I'm not really sure if this is a problem with gimp so much as
  a fundamental problem with the unity code that attempts to put the
  current window's menus at the top of the screen, but the problem
  manifests itself with gimp so I'll report it here.
