Public bug reported:
I have Unity with System Settings -> Appearance -> Behavior -> Show the
menus for a window: In the menu bar.
When I log in, often most of the apps don't present their menus in the
topmost menu bar, rendering the entire desktop pretty much unusable.
In the top left corner I can see the app's name (e.g. "Text Editor" for
gedit, "Terminal" for gnome-terminal, "System Settings", "Files" etc.).
However, the apps' menu entries don't appear on mouseover, I still only
see the app's name. Interestingly, Firefox is an exception, its menu is
properly shown.
I have to log out and log in again to fix this situation.
The problem began to appear when I upgraded to Xenial alpha. I never saw
this behavior in Wily and previous releases.
My crappy laptop reboots once or twice a day (when I happen to hold it
in a certain angle). I have a feeling that this bug perhaps occurs right
after reboots, although I'm not sure. It could be that upon crash some
lock file remains there in my home and it triggers the buggy behavior. I
should get my laptop fixed, I know, but an unclean exit of the desktop
or a complete system crash must not be a reason for it not to start up
properly the next time. I might be on the wrong track, I haven't tested
logging out and back in when the desktop comes up properly. Maybe the
bug has nothing to do with the spontaneous reboots.
