I don't have an oneiric installation to test right now, but at least on natty it actually requires a "double scroll" - i.e. two scroll events within the double click time. If you don't have a mouse with horizontal scroll, using xmodmap to remap mouse buttons also works.
In fact, I think both this bug and 775872 are the same bug: the global menu treats any Button Press event except for buttons 3-5 (middle click, vertical scroll) the same as 1 and 2 (left and right click) and opens a menu / restores the window. The same is true for indicators. To reproduce you can e.g. xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5' and scroll over the global menu or xmodmap -e 'pointer = 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1' and left click. (xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11' restores to normal.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809717 Title: Horizontal scroll in global menu restores window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/809717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
