I can reproduce this issue, but I have a slight hint that Gwibber might be responsible for this. Thunderbird/Evolution don't have the same problem with the menu.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* now Is this reproducible ?

[Pavol Klačanský (pavolzetor-deactivatedaccount)]

This is really focus stealing prevention in compiz, and the way the client is getting raised. We have some hacks in some of the other apps to ensure they go to the top, but it is hard to do with gwibber because of the way the client is activated from the service. I would love to find a real fix for this issue.
