Okay, this appears to be a more general Unity HUD bug because the same
failure (HUD access to application menu prevents subsequent menu use)
occurs for both Thunderbird and Firefox. If the HUD is used to access,
for example, Firefox Edit -> Preferences, the pull-down menus of the
Edit -> Preferences tabs are subsequently inoperative.

Title:
  HUD Shortcut to Thunderbird Menu Item Disables Text Alignment Menu

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If the Unity HUD is used while composing a new Thunderbird HTML email
  message to insert a horizontal line, a subsequent attempt to use the
  text alignment menu fails. Clicking the toolbar button has no effect
  thereafter.

  To reproduce this failure:

  1. Start Thunderbird.

  2. Click "Create a new message" toolbar button to open the HTML
  message composition window.

  3. Enter some text in the message body.

  4. Select the text.

  5. Click the text alignment menu button and choose "Center."

  6. Tap the left <Alt> key to bring up the HUD.

  7. Enter the three letters "h", "o", "r".

  8. "Insert > Horizontal Line" becomes the selected default choice.

  9. Press <Enter>.

  10. Re-select the text entered in step 3 above.

  11. Click the text alignment menu button. The menu will no longer
  display.
