Title:
  A nonresponsive application can cause Unity to freeze

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I'm using an application that at times goes into a loop and becomes unresponsive, so that Unity greys it out until it comes back.
  When that happens, normally you can still run other programs from Unity, until it comes back (or until you kill the rogue).

  However, if at the moment the problem application freezes I have right
  clicked to get a menu from the application, or some similar operation
  that has caused a menu to appear, then Unity becomes nonresponsive as
  well. Keyboard shortcuts, and clicks all fail to produce any result.

  The application in my case is Opera (11.61, but it happened on earlier
  versions too).
