I'm quite sure this problem was caused by the latest SRU as it contained some backported fixes from Quantal where similar problems have been observed (bug 1042024). And those problems have now started to occur in Precise too.
Could you downgrade Unity to 5.14 and test if the problem was caused by the Unity 5.16 SRU few weeks back? To downgrade, download following packages: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/5.14.0-0ubuntu1/+build/3676768/+files/libunity-core-5.0-5_5.14.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/5.14.0-0ubuntu1/+build/3676768/+files/unity-common_5.14.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/5.14.0-0ubuntu1/+build/3676768/+files/unity-services_5.14.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/5.14.0-0ubuntu1/+build/3676768/+files/unity_5.14.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Open terminal and go to the directory you downloaded those packages to (for example if you put them to Downloads run following): cd Downloads Then run sudo dpkg -i *unity*.deb unity --replace If the problem is gone, it's definitely caused by the latest SRU. When done, run following command to install the latest Unity: sudo apt-get install unity unity-services libunity-core-5.0-5 unity-common -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058227 Title: Top menu bar flips to blue (background colour) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1058227/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
