Public bug reported:
On a fresh install of Oneiric Alpha 3 on a Dell Lattitude 2120 I opened
an instance of Gnome Terminal. On opening, the menu bar below the
window's titlebar started flashing on and off. Every time it flashed
OFF, the terminal window would shrink by the height of the menu bar.
Thus, I have witnessed the miracle of the Magical Shrinking Terminal!
I was hoping that this would simply continue shrinking into nothing, or
perhaps it would shrink into itself and create a black hole, slowly
sucking in the entire desktop around it, a few pixels at a time. But
that didn't happen, the terminal shrank to rougly 2 lines height and
there the shrinkage stopped.
I ran ubuntu-bug and when that launched Firefox, I noticed that, lo and
behold, Firefox ALSO suffers from flashing menu bar syndrome. The only
difference is that the FireFox window does not shrink, it simply resizes
itself accordingly.
