Subject: bug#7095: 23.1; Buffers not accessible when clicking in menubar but outside the menus
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 11:58:14 +0200 (CEST)
--text follows this line--

After clicking in the menubar but right of all menuitems, one can not access any buffer, or work with emacs alltogether.
The Cursor just freezes and the mouse arrow stays the normal pointing arrow.
Only the icons under the menubar are accessible but without effect. 
Alt + F4 will issue the normal close dialog (ask for saving files).

The issue can be resolved with opening and closing an actual menuitem in the menubar.
After that, everything is back to normal.
