last app name left on top panel after app closed

[S. Patrikios]

On the left top corner of the top panel, the name of the last used application is left after the application has been closed.
If I remember well, it used to be "Ubuntu" and then File, View etc.
Not sure if xorg bug.

Hi!

Thanks for the bug report. Is it still happening? I have seen this issue a few days ago myself but thought it was due to some local build of unity i was using.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

I just had this issue, with the latest Unity in quantal archives. It seems to have been caused by a nautilus crash or failure to start Opening a window of nautilus and then closing it fixes the issue, since nautilus handles the desktop.

Closing due to the long inactivity.
