[Bug 872207] Re: When Firefox is running in Unity, drop-down menus sometime close when opened

 

Currently, on my machine it's very deterministic, every time I use
CTRL+ALT+Cursor keys to switch workspaces, Firefox menus start to
disappear (I can re-enable them by minimizing and maximizing). And it's
not just menus, all drop-down lists, including awesome bar functionality
(I cannot search history, because there isn't history drop-down list),
also don't work. If I use ALT-TAB to switch between applications on
different workspaces,  menus don't disappear (I'm not sure for this;
I'll try to use ALT-TAB exclusively to see if this is true). The problem
is that I often use CTRL+ALT+Cursor keys (and the answer that I just
don't use them I don't consider as an answer).

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.
