Title:
  With gedit window "full screen" (not maximized), spelling dialog is
  inaccessible

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Metacity allows one to run a window "full screen", which hides all
  window decorations and uses all screen real estate for the window.
  This does NOT maximize the window. In this state, the spelling dialog
  pops UNDER the main gedit window, and cannot be raised.

  Steps to reproduce:
  Start gedit
  Make the window full-screen in Metacity (Go to System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts to bind this to a key)
  Type a misspelled word, I use "thate"
  Go to Tools > Check Spelling

  Observed behavior:
  Check Spelling window is not visible. Using Alt-Tab, it appears in the window list and can be selected, but it never becomes visible. None of the controls of the gedit main window are accessible. One must Shift-Tab then Space to exit the window (ESC doesn't do it).

  Expected behavior:
  Check Spelling window appears above the main gedit window.
