Hello JoLiSh,

thanks for the reply.  Also, thanks for the update on your status.
13.04 as a possible explanation is disheartening.  I upgraded to 13.04 a
month ago and had a great deal of trouble so I fell back to the LTS
12.04.  this time around I was determined to give Unity a fair shake so
I haven't yet installed gnome-classic as I did before.  Just to be clear
12.04 is a fresh install on an empty partition.  all of this is the
reason why I'm just now finding this glitch/bug.  But because I'm having
this same issue on 2 machines with different setups I'm shocked that
it's just you and me having this trouble!

anyhow here are the 2 machines that I have Unity on right now, both with
the hiding global menu problem.  I'm about 1 more week from going back
to gnome-classic.  I've worked through all of my Unity challenges so far
except this one.  Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.  I may
just see if there is a reasonable way to disable the global menu
altogether.

Title:
  Global menu hides when hovering over it

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The global menu hides every time I hover over it.

  Menu is hidden normally, moving the cursor to the top edge makes it
  appear. But placing the mouse over it makes it disappear again so I
  can't click on any menu item.

  It's like if the menu was playing hide'n seek XD
  This happens with every application.

  I'm using Ubuntu 12.10
