[Bug 805087] Re: Dash and launcher appear underneath windows

 

Is happening to me also now for the first time, in Ubuntu 14.04, clean
install on release date of Ubuntu 14.04, fully updated. The command
"setsid unity" relads Unity and temporarily fixes the issue, but the
problem comes back during the session.

Title:
  Dash and launcher appear underneath windows

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  main problem:
    unity launcher and dash always hidden (behind displayed application-windows)

  more details and symptoms:
    docky behaves like unity-launcher/dash.
    press "super" button and type "terminal+enter" (nothing displayed) ... a terminal-window starts/pop-up

  conclusion:
    the "input-stack/focus" is o.k.
    the "windows-display-stack/focus" is wrong

  more symptoms:
    After docky-stop and docky-start (restart) the docky-bar shows as "top-level-window" => o.k.
    This is reproducable with firefox windows by moving/maximise/move to desktop XY.
    Sometimes other windows (like terminal-window/google-chrome-window) are hiding the launcher/dash/docky too.
    This problem is reproducable on a T60p with ATI-FireGL video-card.
