Title:
  Unity top panel restarts when changing tabs in Kile or Eclipse

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I switch tabs in Kile (tex editing application) or the Eclipse
  IDE the application menu shows up brifly pushing things down, right
  after that the unity panels on top disapears for a brief moment and
  then immediately starts again. This causes the screen to resize
  quickly to fill in the empty space after the panel is gone and then
  resize again when the panel comes pack to claim its space again. The
  whole thing happens in under one second, and after its done things are
  back to normal. However, this looks like a glich visually and it also
  makes switching tabs (which unfortunately is something I have to do a
  lot of) a bit and slow and not very pleasing to the eye.

  My guess is that this issue is related to HUD since just before it
  happens the application menu  (File Edit ...) shows up in the top.

  Here is how to reproduce the bug in ubuntu 12.04 with Unity:
   - Open Kile
   - Open two or more documents inside Kile
   - Use the mouse to switch from one document tab to another one
   - You will see the top panel disapear and reapear quickly

  Let me know if I can provide any other information to help debug this
  issue.
