windowMenu: Close when corresponding window goes away (1.41 KB, patch)
2015-05-21 16:19 UTC, Florian Müllner 		committed Details | Review

Description Dima Ryazanov 2015-05-18 06:59:05 UTC 
If a window disappears while its menu is open, the menu stays visible - however, selecting any action ("Maximize", "Move", etc.) causes gnome-shell to crash.

Repro steps:
- Open gnome-terminal
- Run "sleep 3; exit"
- Right-click the title-bar before the window disappears
- Click any menu item

windowMenu: Close when corresponding window goes away

The menu is clearly associated with a particular window, so keeping
it around when the window is gone doesn't make sense - in case of
the window menu, it is actually harmful as every action will act on
the invalidated window and result in a crash. So just dismiss the
menu when the menu is unmanaged.
