inactive menus becomes brighter on sub-sequent clicks

[Omer Akram]

Install unity 3.8.14 from natty-proposed and restart your session.

Test case:
1.) Start the program deluge (if not installed do "sudo apt-get install deluge" and start it afterwards)
2.) Focus the program-window of deluge and move the mouse to the global menubar
3.) Look for the inactive (greyed out) menu "Torrent" and keep clicking this item multiple times (say 4 times)
4.) The rendering of the text "Torrent" should not change in any way!
(Optional 5.) Remove the program deluge again with "sudo dpkg --purge deluge deluge-gtk")

start deluge, see there is a greyed out menu 'Torrent' keep on clicking that item, see it will become bright and bright. see the video

I don't understand what the bug here is at all, your video is too short to really communicate anything. Could you try explaining the problem better, or a more complete video?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

if you keep on clicking that inactive menu the magic is shown, it becomes
brighter and thickers.

PS: guess you are using chromium since chromium's player seem to have
problems with videos uploaded from gtk-recordmydesktop

I get this too. I installed deluge and I am able to reproduce this. My first guess is that there's some clear-painting operation missing.

[Loris Zinsou (nepenthes)]

I get this too with SoundConverter.

Accepted unity into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

As the reporter of this bug, I can confirm that the version of Unity in natty-proposed fixes this issue for me. Marking as verification-done.
