Public bug reported:
Most applications handle a right click event, and react to that by providing a
contextual menu. They usually handle a second right click by making the menu
disappear.
Moreover, some keyboards provide a 'contextual menu' key, which acts as a right
click.
However, when you press this key a second time on many ubuntu applications
(unity, file manager, gedit, just to name of few, but it's probably an
underlying problem), the first contextual menu doesn't disappear, and instead a
new one appear, which has the very nasty side effect of filling the screen with
contextual menus if the key accidentally gets pressed too long - and sometimes
with no other solution than to quit the application to make them all disappear.
