Bug Description

Binary package hint: appmenu-gtk

Like the title said: "Desktop freezes when switching to another app and menu is still open"

Steps to reproduce: (just an example)
1. Open gnome-screenshot in interactive mode.
2. Set a delay, then click on "Take Screenshot".
3. Focus on an application, then open one of its menus in appmenu-gtk.
4. Wait for the screenshot delay.
5. A window from gnome-screenshot will open, causing appmenu-gtk to switch to generic menu entries (File and Edit).
6. Notice that there is a white box replacing the menu previously open, and that the desktop is frozen.

In this state, the cursor can be moved, and the desktop reacts to hover events, but not to any other events (like clicking). The keyboard also does not work at all, apart from Ctrl+Alt+F* (for switching VTs).
