Very weird bug that you can easily reproduce in melee warcraft 3.

Whenever a player uses the unroot ability (eg with an ancient of war), all player's workers automatically close their build menu.

Reproduce it like this:
Start some melee map with 2 players, one being nightelf.
Let the nightelf player build an ancient of his choice.
Let the other player open the build menu of one his workers, and the nightelf player use unroot.
Build menu will close.

This is no particular problem for most maps. But remember that unroot is one of the few known possibilities to change a unit's armor type. I tried to use it excessively for that purpose and the given bug made the game unplayable.
