Menu not showing on more than one application

[el_gallo_azul]

I have noticed this occurring on more than one application - so far it has occurred in Totem and then recently with Rhythmbox. Links to those existing bug reports follow.

It seems to be intermittent - sometimes it does not occur. Starting applications directly from associated files, or in the case of Rhythmbox, directly from the Sound menu, seems to make it more likely that menus will not appear once the application is started, although it has happened to me when I start the application from the Dash or from a button that I have on the Launchpad.

I have just noticed it happening in Sound Juicer 2.32.1 this morning as well. Luckily when I tried about 30 seconds ago, the menu appeared (so that I could get the version) but it didn't work a few times about 5 minutes ago.

I haven't had that problem with the application menu not showing for a while now.

The difference might be that I am using

1. Newer hardware with much greater processing amd RAM capacity; or

2. Later versions of the operating system and software.

It doesn't make any difference to me what happens to this bug report now.
