I see little value in such a comprehensive bug, covering multiple
topics. Supporting multiple top-level windows is a different task from
supporting menus and tooltips. I think menus deserve a bug report of
their own. Specially since what's written in the bug description is just
about multiple top-level windows.

Could you then at least include information (test case, steps to
reproduce) on menus and tooltips on that report?

Assigning this bug now to dednick as he's the one working on menus (you
known, it's a whole different task).

  Unity8 can't correctly display multi-surface apps (including menus and

Bug description:
  Unity8 can't display multi-surface apps (including menus and
  tooltips).

  Fixing bug 1497085 was a great start. However instead of crashing
  Unity8 now just shows the most recently created window by the app in
  the apps /single window/, and stretches it too. When such a secondary
  window like a menu or tooltip closes, you never get back to the
  original app window. So existing apps still aren't quite usable yet.

  Test case:
  sudo apt-get install mir-demos
  mir_demo_client_multiwin -- --desktop_file_hint=unity8

  Expected: Three windows (red, green, blue)
  Observed: Only the blue window

  You can also experience the same bug with lots of apps via:  Xmir
  -rootless under Unity8.
