    Using Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS & Unity 5.4.0f3, sometimes when I right-click / open a context menu Unity will crash, the bug reporter will open, and it will block any OS input (including keyboard: CTRL ALT T does not work, CTRL ALT F1 does not work, nor does typing) for about 3 minutes, then Unity just kills itself.

    Just out of curiosity:
    Are you on a Laptop with optimus (NVIDIA)?

    This sounds related to the menu validation fixes - did you submit a bug report? Or can you send a logfile with the stack trace?

    Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get emails about the thread, kinda forgot about it

    I did send a bug report, although I'm not completely sure it went through as Unity crashed, but the bug report window was still open.

    I am, Nvidia GT 425M using the 361 "tested" driver

    I have since switched back to the Windows editor - probably shouldn't count on experimental builds as my daily driver - but seriously, thanks for the work so far guys. In fact, considering it's a complete port and an experimental build, it actually works quite well.

    FWIW, we've tracked this down, and it will be fixed in the next build.

    I found that this problem happens mostly when you are running your game inside the editor.

    I also found that if you run XFCE (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) instead of COMPIZ or METACITY, Unity don't crash :) I guess it could be seen as a temporary fix.

    The fix for this issue has shipped in the 5.4.0p1 build. If you still experience this behavior with that build (or a later one), please file a new bug report with explicit reproduction steps.
