Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

The Focus Prevention Level is set to low by default in Compiz and at
times it makes my apps behave in really weird ways, especially with
global menu on in Unity. For example, I'm using Firefox and I have a
number of tabs open; probably a bank transaction or something :-P and I
wan't to open my music player window from the sound menu or my mail
notifier window from the messaging menu. What happens is the new window
is drawn on top of my browser BUT focus remains with the browser. Now,
if I hit alt+F4 to close my mail notifier window, something totally
unexpected happens i.e, my browser window is closed. This problem is
more prominent in Unity because of the application (global) menu and
window controls in the panel for maximized apps.

I'm attaching a video.
