Unity Bitesize Bug Report for 25 January

Welcome to another installment of the Unity Bitesize bug report. We’re a little over a week away from Alpha2. In case you missed it, Rick reports that the initial implementation of the Dash has landed.

Annoyances Fixed:

Sam’s taken care of 2 long-annoying bugs this week. The first is the “menus drawing behind menus”, and bug 705324, which was causing the flash plugin to crash in Chromium repeatedly. This week also saw the death of Bug 693073, which painted an invisible menus in your screen, leading to the impression that your application wasn’t clickable, since there were invisible menus painting over it. This one was so annoying that didrocks uploaded it right away, the other fixes you can expect on Thursday.
