Bug Description
When a panel menu is open (an indicator, or the new menubar), it's very difficult and frustrating to close the menu by clicking outside of it. Unless you click on particular parts of the Unity interface, it seems the system is not routing the clicks to close the menu.
Where it works:
- clicking on another indicator: this closes the first menu and opens the new one
- clicking on an application window or window content
Where it doesn't work:
- clicking on the empty panel zone in the center (between the ubuntu logo and the left-most system indicator)
- clicking on an empty desktop (ie you can see the wallpaper)
- clicking on the ubuntu logo (the menu closes, but the entry is kept highlighted)
- clicking on one of the launcher icons (the launcher is activated but the menu kept open)
- clicking on an empty zone of the launcher bar

Mirco: can you do some initial research to determine if the widget is getting any click event or not?
This is a tricky bug, so I assume event routing in mutter is problably the root cause.
