[Bug 872207] Re: When Firefox is running in Unity, drop-down menus sometime close when opened
I've been dealing with this one on not only my ubuntu 10.10 machine, but
my parent's 10.04 machine in another house for months now. So I'm
positive, this is not just personal settings on my machine, which are at
fault. I have noticed the behaviour occasionally in Firefox. But its
mainly a Thunderbird issue for me, when I try to delete junk/spam mail
by right clicking on the Junk to access the drop down menu. The drop
down menu then disappears, when I try to empty the junk. I'm presently
now running the latest lubuntu and linux mint 12 releases in vbox and so
far I've not noticed the erratic behaviour in their Thunderbirds
(although that may just be temporary good fortune.) At first I thought
the cause was related to the ubuntu Updates informing me, that updates
were available for download, as that was when the problem occured. But
thats not always the case now.

Bug description:
This is something which used to happen regularly though not always (I
switched to using fallback mode for a while because of it).
Basically, drop-down menus in Firefox such as RSS feeds (or in Natty
without the global menu the normal application menus were affected
too) are simply not shown when clicked on. Context menus also fail to
appear. This often disappeared for no apparent reason after I had
used Firefox for a while. I haven't seen it for a while, but it has
just re-appeared, possibly because I started Unity as "unity
--replace" since I am currently testing an application's behaviour
with different window managers.
I'm sorry if this information is a bit threadbare. Please let me know
if I can provide any additional helpful information.
