Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2011-04-11 14:28:45 UTC 
an over-reach with the mouse followed by a quick recovery allowed me to discover that it's possible to click on the application menu during the switch-to-overview animation.

The result of doing this is that the menu appears (and stays visible) but the label disappears.  As a result, you have a menu underneath (and pointing to) a blank spot on the top bar.

Pretty easy to trigger 100% of the time if you use the windows key.

Not reproducing. What app are you testing with? We seem to get a pointer and mouse grab before entering the overview. From overview.js

    // Animates the overview visible and grabs mouse and keyboard input
    show : function() {
        if (this._shown)
            return;
        // Do this manually instead of using _syncInputMode, to handle failure
        if (!Main.pushModal(this._group))
            return;
    [....]

My "application menu", I mean the one in the top bar beside "Activities".

Position the mouse over top of it, press the windows key and then very rapidly click.  If you manage to catch the menu during the overview transition then you end up with the menu shown at the end.

Ah, yeah, can reproduce. Probably easier to fix after we do the "proper" fix for bug 645734 and only animate the icon fading out in one place.

Is this a dup of that other bug?
Comment 5 Allan Day 2014-08-07 10:12:52 UTC 
I'm unable to reproduce here. Is this still an issue?
Comment 6 Florian Müllner 2014-08-07 10:29:52 UTC 
No, should have been fixed a long time ago.
