Hello JoLiSh, thanks for the reply. Also, thanks for the update on your status. 13.04 as a possible explanation is disheartening. I upgraded to 13.04 a month ago and had a great deal of trouble so I fell back to the LTS 12.04. this time around I was determined to give Unity a fair shake so I haven't yet installed gnome-classic as I did before. Just to be clear 12.04 is a fresh install on an empty partition. all of this is the reason why I'm just now finding this glitch/bug. But because I'm having this same issue on 2 machines with different setups I'm shocked that it's just you and me having this trouble!
anyhow here are the 2 machines that I have Unity on right now, both with the hiding global menu problem. I'm about 1 more week from going back to gnome-classic. I've worked through all of my Unity challenges so far except this one. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. I may just see if there is a reasonable way to disable the global menu altogether. #1 Laptop HP 6730b Ubuntu 12.04.3 unity 5.20.0 Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller Kernel driver in use: i915 #2 Desktop HP workstation xw6200 Ubuntu 12.04.2 Unity 5.20.0 NVIDIA G71GL Quadro FX 3500 Kernel driver in use: nouveau -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Menu is hidden normally, moving the cursor to the top edge makes it appear. But placing the mouse over it makes it disappear again so I can't click on any menu item. It's like if the menu was playing hide'n seek XD This happens with every application.
