Bug Description

When I open Mnemosyne 2.2.1 under Ubuntu 14.04 and pass the cursor over the title-bar at the top of the window, I expect to see a bar menu, but no menu appears, that is, the title bar remains unchanged. If I then click on an open window of another application (that is, shift the focus to the window of another program) and then click on the Mnemosyne window (and thus shift the focus back to Mnemosyne), the menu then appears when I pass the cursor over the title-bar.

If I then click on any of the icons below Mnemosyne's title/menu bar, the menu of the new window is inaccessible until I click on the window of another program and then click on the new Mnemosyne window again.

When I close the window that I called by clicking the icon, the menu of the first Mnemosyne window is once again inaccessible until I click on the window of another program and then click on Mnemosyne's window.

I have to click on the window of another program to trigger access to Mnemosyne's window. Clicking on the desktop and then on Mnemosyne's window will not trigger access to Mnemosyne. I have to click on the open window of another program and then click on the Mnemosyne window again to get access to Mnemosyne's menu.

I can't reproduce any of these problems using Kubuntu 14.04. I suspect your issue is related to something about how Unity and PyQt4 interact. Can you try another PyQt4 based application, perhaps calibre, and see if you have similar issues.
