Bug Description
When I right-click an element, Unity crashes (that's a new behaviour that appeared yesterday I believe). Please see the attached video.
Video: I have two screens. I selected an area to record that masks my personal data, but everything you need to know is in there. First, I right-click a file on my desktop. Unity crashes. Now, I can right-click the file again, this time the menu appears. As you can see, I chose to have icons in the menu. I select to open the file with gedit. It's a script to restart unity. I open the file again, this time I chose "run". Unity restarts.
This can be repeated. The first time after reboot, Uniy restarts automatically, no message appears. The second time and any other time, the behaviour as in the film happens.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.
If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.
Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit. _my_crash_ report. crash' where _my_crash_ report. crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/ _my_crash_ report. crash'.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/
I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
P.S. Also try running unity --reset, probably a misconfigured Compiz plugin is causing that issue.
