[Bug 518453] Re: dock appears under all windows after a full screen app is run

 

I'm using the new visibility option "hide the dock when it overlaps the
current window"

Usually the dock will show up on top of all windows when the mouse is at
the bottom border of my screen.  However, after opening a full screen
app and closing it, the dock appears under all windows.  This happens
until the dock is restarted.

I've been able to reproduce this by opening the mythtv frontend program,
or konsole (using the View->Full Screen Mode option).  After opening one
of these apps, glx dock shows this behavior.

I've installed the following packages:

cairo-dock                         2.2.0-4-1ubuntu1~lucid
cairo-dock-core                 2.2.0-4-1ubuntu1~lucid
cairo-dock-data                 2.2.0-4-1ubuntu1~lucid
cairo-dock-plug-ins            2.2.0-4-1ubuntu1~lucid
cairo-dock-plug-ins-data    2.2.0-4-1ubuntu1~lucid
cairo-dock-plug-ins-integration    2.2.0-4-1ubuntu1~lucid

These were from the following repository: http://repository.glx-
dock.org/ubuntu

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Version:
Cairo-Dock (2007-2009)
 version 2.1.2-4

Ubuntu 9.10 running compiz 0.8.4

Test1:
- Open terminal window. 
- Press F11 (cairo respects the full screen app and stays in the background while poping up.)
- Press F11 again. (cairo now pops up behind any other window)

Test2:
- Open any video on VLC
- Go full screen [Press F] (cairo stays behind as expected)
- Return to window mode [Press F again] (cairo stays behind)
-------------

Playing with visibility settings doesn't help. Only closing and restarting cairo solves the issue.
Tested on openGL and non openGL modes (happens more often with openGL)
