Unity has problems with applications that open multiple windows, 
particularly when each window has its own separate menu bar. Unity can 
get very confused as to which window's menu it should display on Unity's 
single common menu bar. Sometimes it won't change the common menu bar 
when an application opens a subwindow. Sometimes it will, then sometimes 
not change it back until the subwindow is closed.

That's my guess based on our limited experience here with Unity. YMMV. 
We found it simplest to replace Unity with a more mature desktop 
environment.
