LocutusOfBorg, my last test was not testing screen sharing but receiving
webcam video, which was not the original bug problem.

The original bug problem is reproducible if the other party shares their
full screen via clicking Video and Screen Sharing button -> Share Your
Screen -> Share Full Screen

Then if one maximizes the other parties shared screen, then tries to
restore or maximize another window over it, it is unsuccessful. Marking
back to Confirmed.

  3) What is expected to happen is during a Skype call, when the other
- party shares their entire screen, and one maximizes the shared Skype
- window, one may see and maximize other windows over it.

- 4) What happens instead is that one may not bring other windows over it,
- nor maximize other windows over it.
+ one maximizes the other parties shared screen, one may restore or
+ maximize other windows over it.
