Yes I understand that, but is it nautilus that manages the menus when 
they are placed in the window manager header line?

Same point, is it firefox that manages the menus when they are placed in 
the window manager header?

What is compiz?
I thought unity was the name of a version of the Ubuntu OS, is it also 
the name of some piece of code?

This problem did indeed appear when I installed Unity.

The problem is associated with the movement of the menu bar from within 
the application window into the header of the window manager.  It is not 
apparent from the outside how this GUI revision was implemented, hence 
my confusion about the source of the problem.  If the application was 
just told the window address of the menu bar as being at the position of 
the window manager header, then I blame Nautilus ( and my one occurrence 
of Firefox error is a similar error inside Firefox, unlikely but possible).
If instead the menu logic in an application is revised to pass a-menu 
data structure to the window manager and the window manager logic is 
used I blame the window manager.  I suppose by your reply that this more 
complicated method of implementing the GUI is not in use and the prior 
method is how this was implemented.

None the less, the bug is still displaying it's ugly head in Nautilus 
from time to time.  I have only seen it once in Firefox and that would 
be with thousands of executions.

If I see it any where else I will let you know.
I did try for a couple hours to force it to happen so I could give you 
the steps but I am still unable to generate on demand sorry.

If I can do any thing to help I will just ask.

Keep up the good work,
Karl

Title:
  Nautilus Does not Display Menus

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Nautilus (file manager) working fine, then not.

  What happens is the menus stop displaying.

  You select a menu item expecting a list of actions and you get about
  four pixel wide little bump where the list normally displays.

  I suspect it is there but being displayed under the menu bar where it
  is not visible on the display.
