Public bug reported:

I'm using an application that at times goes into a loop and becomes 
unresponsive, so that Unity greys it out until it comes back.
When that happens, normally you can still run other programs from Unity, until 
it comes back (or until you kill the rogue).

However, if at the moment the problem application freezes I have right
clicked to get a menu from the application, or some similar operation
that has caused a menu to appear, then Unity becomes nonresponsive as
well. Keyboard shortcuts, and clicks all fail to produce any result.

The application in my case is Opera (11.61, but it happened on earlier
versions too).
