Local menus broken for Qt apps after opening dialog

[CraigD]

[Impact]

I have selected to have window menus in the window's title bar. This works great, except for Qt apps. After selecting a menu item in a Qt app that produces a dialog, the menu is no longer accessible. The only way to get the menu back, is to switch to another window, and then back to the affected app.

[Test Case]

1. Start qtcreator
2. Resize window so that it is not maximised
3. Select 'Help' -> 'About Qt Creator'
4. Dismiss 'About Qt Creator' dialog
5. Move mouse over window titlebar.

[Regression Potential]

It's possible other menu interaction bugs may have been introduced.

[Other Info]

The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry-picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" dev release where it has been in production use for some time without apparent regression.

Any chance to have this bug fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 too?

[Stephen M. Webb (bregma)]

Just be patient: the fix only just appeared in the current development version of Ubuntu. It has to mellow there for a bit to shake out bugs before it will get backported to an LTS release.

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

@Stephen
Sorry for my previous answer, it was a bit rude.

It's great to see this bug fixed for vivid, but since the target for this bug was set from 7.2.x to 7.3.x, I wondered if one day the bug would be fixed for 14.04 too. I'll be patient ;-)

[Alex Solanos (hakermania)]

That was one nasty bug.

Glad it was fixed.

Hello CraigD, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/7.2.4+14.04.20150316-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.
