[Bug 1284981] [NEW] Locally-integrated menus stop working in Virtualbox

 

Public bug reported:

With (the absolutely awesome) locally-integrated menus enabled, if you
open the VirtualBox the menus initially work as expected, ie they appear
in VirtualBox's titlebar when you hover the mouse over it.

But if you open a popup window by clicking on New or Settings and then
close it, it the menus no longer appear when you hover over the
titlebar.

One workaround is that the menus start working again if you focus on
another application's window and then click on VirtualBox again so it
regains focus, so it's as if the popup window has retained the focus for
LIM even once it is closed.

Also worth noting is that if you open a VirtualBox popup window and
focus on another application without closing the VirtualBox popup
window, when you go back to the popup window and close it, the menus
work as expected.

I tried reproducing this using the popup windows in Synaptic, gnome-
disks, and gnome-terminal, but they all work fine.

I'm running virtualbox-4.3 4.3.8-92456~Ubuntu~raring.
