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

 

After reviewing some old bugs linked to my launchpad account... I have
some good news!

This behavior seems linked to the workaround for bug #348934

I realized today that I had the "Legacy Fullscreen Support" in compiz
config settings manager selected in order to fix a bug in mythtv where
gnome-panel was showing above mythfrontend in full screen mode.

The good news is that since I'm no longer using gnome-panel, I have no
need for this workaround.  After disabling the "Legacy Fullscreen
Support" in compiz config manager, cairo-dock shows above all windows
again!

I tested both with mythfrontend and the realvnc client, and was unable
to get cairo-dock to appear below windows.

** Changed in: compiz
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  dock appears under all windows after a full screen app is run

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Fix Committed
Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released

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)
