It appears to be a permissions issue preventing these menus from displaying.
Here's a work around. If you launch dbeaver from the command line using sudo, the menus do work: sudo /usr/share/dbeaver/dbeaver Apparently, something changed in Ubuntu 13.10 to where now this exact same dbeaver deb installer installs in a manner in which dbeaver cannot access all of its prerequisites when launched as a regular non-sudo user. Unfortunately, this work-around isn't perfect; any previous dbeaver settings, that were saved in your user account's home folder won't be accessed when launching dbeaver this way. You'll have to set all settings from scratch or some how copy your local user settings to the correct root location that gets queried during this sudo-launch of the application. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218687 Title: Top-Panel Menus Won't Drop Down for Dbeaver Status in Eclipse: New Status in The Application Menu: New Status in The Kepler Solar Project: New Status in Unity: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I initially installed Dbeaver in 13.04 and then upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10. In 13.04, I was able to drop-down menus located in Unity's top-panel when Dbeaver had focus. However, now these menus won't drop down. I'm not sure that this is Dbeaver specific, or if this bug should be forwarded to the platform that Dbeaver runs on.
