File a bug please? Well, it's more of a commodity. I've mistakenly opened that menu with the hope of quitting that application and then I end up doing it from the windows or the message tray (does anybody use the menu of the current app's title on top just to close windows?). I figured that having it in the menus of the left icons' area would be useful to close all instances of apps, which I don't think is that usual but I sometimes wish I could do it.
