Title:
Cannot click items in gnome shell menus or right click menus
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
When clicking a menu in the gnome shell top bar, such as the
notifications, places, or power menus, the menu comes up, but no
option can be clicked. It seems that clicks go through to whatever is
below the menu, be it an application window or the desktop. The same
applies for right clicking application icons in the favourites dock.
The menus work properly just after log in, or after restarting gnome-
shell, but change to the incorrect behaviour soon after. This does not
seem to be related to any 3rd party application, i.e. it happens even
if only using natutilus/gnome-terminal/gedit.
It is worth noting that clicking the Application button (or pressing
the Super key) to bring up the activities screen allows the menus to
work properly again. This workaround seems to always work: open a
gnome-shell menu -> unable to select menu items -> press Super (the
menu stays open) -> items can now be selected as intended.
The following screenshot shows how the mouse pointer selects the
Chromium new tab button instead of the gnome power menu item, even if
the menu is drawn on top of the Chromium window:

allows the menu to be selected as intended:

The above happen on Ubuntu Gnome 16.10, with either nvidia-367 or
nouveau. It also happened on 16.04 before.
