[Bug 1404006] Re: grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate partially obscured submenus

[Marc]

I can reproduce this in the current Mate. I can get the normal Mate menu
to the pop in front of the other windows but the "advanced" Mate menu
stays behind other windows when invoked. It is possible to raise it into
view by clicking the panel itself and then clicking advanced menu again.

The default Mate menu is not affected.

Title:
  grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate partially obscured submenus

Status in ubuntu-mate:
  Confirmed
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu MATE, the included /etc/default/grub, and grub2-themes-
  ubuntu-mate (as of 0.3.6~trusty4 and 0.3.6~utopic4), sometimes the
  only portion of the submenus (and edit dialog, etc.) that is visible
  appears directly beneath where the top level menu "box" was; the rest
  is obscured by the "border", and the content appears "cropped"; i.e.,
  when I use the "Advanced options for Ubuntu" submenu, I probably won't
  see a menu of installed kernels, unless I have enough to appear within
  the visible area and/or my resolution is low enough. The applicable
  key controls are also invisible.

  As a workaround, if I hit Esc to get back to the top level menu, and
  go back into "Advanced…" there is no obscuring border any longer.

  This could be a bug with grub2 itself, and might apply to other
  themes; currently using 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1 (trusty) and 2.02~beta2-15
  (utopic); will see what happens with 2.02~beta2-18.

  Note that update-grub warns that "Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero
  value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported" for the
  default config file.
