Public bug reported:

With one maximized window below an unmaximized window, clicking on the
Unity panel (with the maximized window focused) does not raise the
maximized window. This happens with both focus-follows-mouse and focus-
follows-click, although the latter is harder to trigger with normal
usage.

Steps to reproduce (with focus follows mouse):
1. Open two windows. Maximize one (let's call this A), and leave one unmaximized (let's call this B).
2. Raise window B so that B is in front of A.
3. Move mouse over window A to focus it.
4. Move mouse up to the unity panel while keeping window A focused.
5. Click on an empty space in the panel.

Observed behaviour: window A is not raised to the top, but it should.
This used to work in Ubuntu 13.10, and 13.04, iirc.

This bug also occurs with focus-follows-click:
Steps to reproduce (with focus follows click):
1. Open two windows. Maximize one (let's call this A), and leave one unmaximized (let's call this B).
2. Raise window B so that B is in front of A.
3. Alt+RightClick on window B to bring up the window's context menu and enable the "Always on top" option.
4. Click on window A to focus it. Window B should remain in front of window A.
5. Alt+RightClick on window B to bring up the window's context menu, and disable the "Always on top" option. Window A should remain focused after this action.
6. Click on an empty space in the panel.

Observed behaviour: Window A is not raised to the top, but it should.
I'm not sure if this worked in previous releases.
