I don't see the CPU being pegged and it isn't leaking memory so badly. There is still some memory leakage. I ran health-check (from my PPA, ppa:colin-king/white) against it for over 10 minutes using applications such as LibreOffice, Gimp, Firefox and still observed quite a lot of brks() occurring:
Heap Change via brk(): PID brk Count Change (K) Rate (K/second) 3222 unity-panel-service 143 18612 29.10 (growing moderately fast) so, that's 18Mb in 640 seconds, or about 29K a second. I did reboot my machine before testing and double checked that I was running the package from -proposed. Attached is a report from health-check with the full details. ** Attachment added: "leak.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1199877/+attachment/3897066/+files/leak.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Using shortcuts is enough and faster to reproduce this bug (I've always used Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Shift+A). Memory usage of unity- panel-service increases steadily and it uses a lot of CPU shortly after activating the menu items in a short time. Regression potential: check that the menus are stable/working as they should --------- Just going about my business on Ubuntu Raring amd64 on an x230 and I heard the fan kick into action. top showed me that unity-panel-service was consuming all the free cycles on one of my CPUs. I killed it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was totally pegging out a CPU. I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while after that.
