I suggested the exact same thing due to this other bug:
"New windows are moved to front but don't take focus"

TOO MUCH CLICKING!

Apps and menus should follow mouse over focus. Will fix many issues.

I use fullscreen apps a lot. This is how I would prefer it:

Default:
Fullscreen apps should always show global menus. Do not hide.
Minimized apps should have the menus locally integrated, less distance to travel to get to menu!

Optional:
Hide global menus
non-locally integrated menus on minimized apps
The highest foreground app must by default grab focus
Any app you move your mouse over must get "Menu" focus, don't bring to foreground though! interacting with the focused app will bring it to foreground, like keyboard input.

Love unity and all the features. But the focus and global menu thing is a bit annoying. Some refinement needed.
