Bug Description

Maybe intended?, though if so don't know why.

Test case:
With the default appearance setting of "In top bar"
Open a document in gedit
Wait for panel menu to disappear.
Expose the panel menu either thru cursor or hold alt button

Choose a menu item, "About" will be fine
Close the 'about' winow, the gedit panel menu remains as long as focus is on gedit
Move focus off gedit, then back on to geit, panel menu returns & doesn't disappear
A click or d. click in empty space on panel will cause the menu to finally disappear

Oh, yes thanks... For some reasons I thought this happened when using LIMs, sorry... I misread the report.

However, I found the issue, thanks.
