Bug Description

After a recent update (sometime this week I think), the menus on the unity 2d panel (ie, the 'date', 'settings', 'smoser', 'battery', 'bluetooth', 'network' disappear on mouse-up.

You have to click and hold the mouse button down to use them.

I've verified that a system I have with 4.8.0-0ubuntu1 does not exhibit this problem , but my primary system has 4.12.0-0ubuntu1, and is showing it.

I'm using 2 monitors, the laptop display and a secondary display.
I've just now noticed that the disappearing menus only occur on the laptop display. If I use the menu on the external display, the menus behave properly.

This could, potentially only with the second display attached. I've not done trouble shooting to see what scenarios make that happen.

I've just now had some time to test, and I can verify that.
 * log in when external monitor attached: FAIL
   * detach external monitor: PASS
   * re-attach external monitor, and display-settings configure it: FAIL
 * log in without external monitor attached: PASS

above, 'PASS' means menus operate as normal. FAIL means they disappear on mouse up on the laptop display.

I observe this behavior when I have an external monitor and:
* the displays are cloned, or
* the desktop is extended. In this case, as Scott mentioned, the laptop display has this issue, whereas the external display does not.

In case it matters, to test this, I used the Fn key on my laptop to switch configurations. (Fn+F8 - "CRT/LCD").

Confirming that I also see this issue when I have two monitors, but again only on one of them. It is not always the same one that is failing but not sure what triggers which one it is.

I have this issue with 2 monitors; the primary monitor has the bug, the secondary works correctly.
