Hi! In Ubuntu 10.10, with Unity, in an application with a modal window, Unity not blocks the access to Global Menu. Steps: - Open an application with a modal window (by example: gufw). - Go to menu/Edit/Preferences. - Preferences window is a modal window (not access to the application menu). - Access in the Global Menu to the Gufw menu: Bug! You can access to it! You can see the screenshot. Best regards.

Binary package hint: unity If I open (for example) Synaptic non-maximized and tell it to reload or apply updates, an update window appears for potentially a considerable length of time. With Synaptic non-maximized, it is possible to minimize both windows by clicking on the minimize icon in the main Synaptic window. However, with Synaptic maximized, the minimize/close window buttons disappear from the global menu when the child window is opened. Because it is a modal popup window, you cannot switch the focus back to Synaptic. This means you can no longer minimize Synaptic, which is a regression. A workaround would be to allow the application to be minimized from the unity launcher, eg by making it (like every other launcher/dockbar) minimize a focused application when you click on its icon (eg as requested in bug #733349), or by adding a right-click menu option to minimize the application.
