Public bug reported:
In 16.04 it has become very hard to select menu options for apps that do
not take up the full-screen using a mouse. Note that this is a problem
only when you select to show menu options in the menu bar.
The change of behavior causing the issue is that when the mouse moves
from the app over the desktop, the menu bar changes to the options of
the 'Ubuntu desktop'. In 14.04, even while the mouse traverses the
desktop, the menu options displayed are those of the last application
traversed with mouse (except, of course, the desktop), so accessing the
menu options is easy. To access menu options with the mouse in 16.04 you
must either full-screen the application or move the application so that
its window touches the menu bar and then slide your mouse directly from
the application to the menu bar.
