bug#6499: 23.1; Emacs gets stuck waiting for menu input

[Marius Kjeldahl]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When clicking the menu-bar (enabled by default on Ubuntu Lucid) to the
right of any menu choices (typically to activate the window), emacs
will remain "stuck" not allowing any more input until you actually
activate one of the menus.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
