I updated to 18.04.1 LTS and now Vim doesn't have tear-off menus anymore. Well, that's one way of fixing the bug :-)

Steps to reproduce: Open Gvim. Click on the Edit menu. Point to the Color scheme menu item (third from the bottom). A submenu will open. Click on the first item of the submenu (the one that looks like “--------------------”). The menu will become a separate window. Click on any menu item and notice that the color scheme of the window doesn't change at all. It changes correctly when the menu is used normally (without tearing it off first).
