Comment 5 for bug 483325

I'm getting this issue with gnome-shell 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 11.10. The Alt+F2 'r' workaround Alex R mentions above also work for me, though it seems rather inelegant and ugly to me having to waste the first few seconds of my recordings just to get around a bug, and is certainly not a "Fix Released".

I should note that I'm using recordmydesktop via the terminal, and the top panel does come back temporarily while in the Activities view but disappears again upon return to the desktop. See attached video.
