Bug Description
I am using a fully updated 12.04 with unity 5.8.0-0ubuntu2.
Most of the time when a global menu is being used (as in an item has been clicked on to reveal the options below it), pressing the Alt or Super keys do not open the HUD or dash. But when the menu is closed, the hud or dash will flash on for split second and then close again. It is expected that they will open even when a global menu is active.
This is not seen with a local menu, such as with LibreOffice's default.
I have observed a different behaviour that occurs in a minority of cases when opening the HUD with a global menu active, if you get that bug instead. It's the HUD opening below the menu and not accepting input. https:/
summary: |
- HUD doesn't open when global menu is active, then flashes on and off + HUD and Dash don't open when global menu is active, but flash on and off when menu is closed |
