Title:
  Cannot raise window on click

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sometimes but not always, I cannot raise windows (and cannot get focus
  as well ) by clicking on them.

  As a workaround, I could maximize and un-maximize, and after un-
  maximize the window can get focus. However the window is still not
  raised above other windows. Also, after I click other windows, this
  window lose focus and the above problem happens again.

  I have to say, in most cases I met, the problem happens with
  Mathematica -- a property software. However, as it is widely used, and
  I only have this problem in Unity / Compiz, not Gnome Shell or kwin. I
  guess it may be a bug of Unity / Compiz.

  For example, in the attached figure below, if I click the TagSet
  window, it cannot get focus or being raised.
