Revisiting this : I don't see this behaviour with Inkscape or with GIMP. I still see this with Eclipse 4.3
The behaviour almost looks like the menu is being drawn behind the application window, but that could just be a product of the code flow mentioned above. See attached image : the top of the menu visible in the menu bar area has been drawn, along with some of the menu spilling into the application window, but this seems to have stopped short of rendering the whole menu. This is the product of clicking the menu item. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of menu rendering with broken menu" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-gtk-module/+bug/1208019/+attachment/3972395/+files/eclipse-broken-menu.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity-gtk-module in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208019 Title: Eclipse menus doesn't show up in Saucy Status in Unity GTK+ module: Confirmed Status in “unity-gtk-module” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: **************** HOW TO REPRODUCE **************** 1.
