** Description changed: - Binary package hint: compiz + Binary package hint: xorg-server I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, and now application menus sometimes don't show up. As far as I can tell, this happens randomly for all drop and sub menus, including menus for applets/indicators in the gnome-panel, gnome-terminal, thunderbird, gedit, nautilus, and all other applications I've tested. - It seems to happen randomly, most of the time menus display fine, but - sometimes they don't display. Interestingly, when the menu doesn't - appear, and you move your pointer to the place where the menu should - appear, the menu suddenly appears. Also, this seems to happen once per - menu, so if a specific menu didn't display, the second time you click - that menu item, the menu does display, and will display properly the - next times you click it. But, if you restart that application, it will - start over again. + It seems to happen randomly, some menus display fine, but some don't + display.
