Bug Description

The bug happens when I clicked on desktop and pressed menu bar but pressed too many times and many alignment windows opened on top of right click window. I closed these alignment windows then I realized shortcuts and mouse clicks don't respond but for example holding windows button opens keyboard shortcuts window.

Sorry if the attached bug report is not because of this bug but I followed guidelines and generated report using given commands. I can produce the bug whenever I want but whole system locks down and I need to use ctrl alt f1 consoles to restart (yes they work well)

Thanks for the bug report.
I can't reproduce this bug, is it possible that you have set some keyboard shortcuts that might cause this behavior?
Also, could you explain what you mean by "alignment window"?

Hello Eleni,

Thanks for the reply, I haven't set keyboard shortcuts. In order to reproduce the bug I go to dektop click on an empty space on desktop then click the menu keyboard button between alt-gr and rctrl (at least on my keyboard). The menu that opens is the same as right click menu and if I click to menu button again a menu in screenshot opens. If I click close then almost all my shortcuts gots disabled I can't click with mouse I get almost no response except for ctrl+alt+fx shortcuts and the help menu shortcut which is holding windows. I hope the screenshot and information helps :)
