Interesting... I tend to use the unity sidebar to switch between
applications, or occasionally alt-tab rather than expo.

I do get the problems when Firefox is *not* maximised, but they happen
far more often when firefox *is* maximised.

I must admit I'd forgotten about this bug recently since I switched back
to unity2d because it was so irritating, but I'm back in unity3d for a
while to see if I can find out what's going on.

  When Firefox is running in Unity, drop-down menus sometime close when

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.
