Bug Description
This is the first bug I've filed in Launchpad; please let me know if there is a way to categorize these or if I'm committing any kind of faux pas. Thank you!
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Ubuntu MATE 18.04 daily build dated 2017-11-23
- Open MATE Tweak
- Choose Mutiny or Cupertino panel layout
- Open any application with menus (Caja, LibreOffice, etc.)
- Press Alt key
Expected behavior:
- HUD opens, and/or menu accelerators become underlined
Actual behavior:
- LightDM and/or X11 crashes (freezes, unresponsive)
- Must switch to another terminal and `sudo killall lightdm` to recover
Other info:
- Running in VirtualBox 5.1.20 r112629 on Mac OS X host
- Installed to virtual hard disk, not running off live ISO image

This does not seem to occur in layouts that do not use the Global Menu. (i.e. Redmond, Traditional, etc.)
