global menu occasionally stops working for some applications

[Marius Gedminas]

Today I tried to access the global menu of GTimeLog, but the top bar was empty. Pressing F10 let me loop though all indicator menus, but the global application menu wasn't there. I switched to Chromium to make sure the menu indicator itself was still working -- it was.

Restarting GTimeLog fixed the problem: I could now access its menus using F10 or Alt+shortcut.

Now I have the same problem with xchat-gnome: it's global menu bar is empty.

I don't know how to reproduce the problem on demand.

Weird. Have you installed all updates for Oneiric so far? Seems like an appmenu-gtk3 issue in here.

Thanks for the bug report. Is that still an issue in Ubuntu 12.04?
