Global menu, click show, click hide does not work if pointer not moved

[Paul Sladen]

Binary package hint: unity

Reproduce:

  Hover over global menu item (ideally use track-point/nipple to guarantee non-movement)
  Click once (show menu)
  Without moving pointer ...
  Click once again (hide menu)

The menu will now remain visible and all further clicks will continue to have no action and be ignored, /until/

  Move mouse pointer ~1 pixel
  Click again (hide menu)
  Event will now be registered and menu will hide

Ideally user-input should always be handled or the user given other feedback on why it was not handled.

The duplicate of one has been closed last week with unity under compiz.

The release a week was probably the following upload, which explicitly lists 3 bugs:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/3.1.4-0ubuntu1

From 30 minutes searching, I have been unable to find the relevant bug report to duplicate this against (the issue must have been known and fixed without a corresponding bug report, thus marking Fix Released against the above release from ~1 week ago).
