Menu disappears when focused window is mostly on another workspace

[Greg Merchan]

Move the focused window mostly off the screen into another workspace. When maybe 80% of the window is in the other workspace, its menu and title disappear from the menu bar. Switch to the other workspace and the menu and title reappear.

Oddly enough, the menus can still be accessed by opening an indicator menu and moving the mouse to where the application menu should be. The submenu drops down even though the item in the menu bar remains invisible.

The menu of the focused window should always be on the screen, even if most of the window isn't.

Hi Greg

Description: Ubuntu 11.10

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that when using the package unity on Ubuntu 11.10 using the steps provided by Greg that I can reproduce the bug. Therefore I have set this bug to confirmed.

The steps I used to produce:
1) Open a window
2) Move the window so that the majority of the window is on another workspace
3) Deselected the window (By clicking on the desktop)
4) Reselect the window

Now notice the following:
- The window title is not shown in the Unity Panel
- If you click on an indicator and then move across the menu items can be accessed. But they can not be accessed by moving the mouse to the top of the screen.
- If you move to the other workspace everything works as normal.

Hope this helps and this bug can be solved soon.

Key navigation seems fixed to me now.
