[Dx-packages] [Bug 1319207] [NEW] Contextual menu keyboard button can create important display bugs in almost all ubuntu applications

[John Doe]

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.

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Setting the preference to move window control to the right no longer
  works

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On earlier versions of ubuntu, either [gsettings set
  org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
  "menu:minimize,maximize,close"] or [gconftool -s
  /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string
  menu:minimize,maximize,close] enabled to change the window control to
  the right. Now, in Trusty (14.04) even the unity-tweak-tool, which
  still enables this option, isn't able to achieve the wanted result.

  This is probably due to the new unity decorations.

  The user should still have the opportunity to choose this setting (let
  the user choose, whenever there are differences about user experience
  preferences), if only because the XP support just ended and all these
  new users don't want to have that much of a user experience difference
  when going to Trusty (don't make the same mistake windows 8 did,
  thinking users will adapt to UI changes - letting the user choose in
  such cases is always the best option).

  This is my first bug filing report, sorry if it doesn't fit the format
  you are used to, feel free to edit it, but I think it really brings up
  in important point that has to be addressed in a LTS release.
