This bug was one of main reasons that I stopped using Unity in 11.04 and went back to Gnome 2. After upgrade to 11.10, it kind of dissapeared, showing only occasionaly, but in the last couple of days (maybe after some of the updates) it became again very annoying. I minimize/maximize Firefox at least once in 20 minutes (or, when that doesn't work, close it and start again). It really goes on my nerves, but, alas, I cannot go back to Gnome 2, nor use Gnome Shell (it still has issues with my Radeon card). Unity 2D, last time I tried, didn't have all the features of 3D version (and I don't mean eye-candy). Mint (debian) anyone?

Basically, drop-down menus in Firefox such as RSS feeds (or in Natty without the global menu the normal application menus were affected too) are simply not shown when clicked on. Context menus also fail to appear. This often disappeared for no apparent reason after I had used Firefox for a while. I haven't seen it for a while, but it has just re-appeared, possibly because I started Unity as "unity --replace" since I am currently testing an application's behaviour with different window managers. I'm sorry if this information is a bit threadbare. Please let me know if I can provide any additional helpful information.
