Comment 23 for bug 674138

This truly is something worth fixing, and I'm rather surprised to see it discounted as a non-issue and a "wont fix" resolution. It sure seems to me this is something that can be solved in such a way that everyone is happy and without requiring global menus be disabled (though even then it doesn't work right - for example if the mouse is at the edge of two adjacent windows, the mouse pointer will gets confused. For terminal windows, this often means you cannot select text starting at the first column).

Please fix this, thank you!
