Hi,

Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help anymore: My trusty installation
that I keep for testing purposes has not been showing the bug anymore
for some time. It may be due to it running a unity version from 20141212
and/or a newer version of Onboard from the Onboard PPA.

So I disabled the security, recommended, proposed, backports and Onboard
PPA sources in order to replicate the bug; but I was only able to
replicate it partially: in fact, Onboard looked after the downgrade as
if it was covered by Dash, but a click on it restored its look by making
it look as if it is above Dash. (If I remember correctly, in the
original bug description, Onboard behaved as if it was above Dash, but
looked all the time as if it was below Dash.)

Afterwards, I enabled the sources again, apart the Onboard PPA, and
installed all the updates. The problem disappeared again, but it
probably cannot count, as I was not able to replicate the exact original
bug.

Cheers

  Original Description:

  Hi,

  Some recent update of broke the default on-screen Onboard to work
  properly on dash.

  In fact, Onboard is shown in dash, as if it was located under dash. It
  is particularly visible, when the dash is maximized and covers the
  whole screen. However, if I drag Onboard to position it under an icon
  in dash and I click on the icon, the corresponding application is not
  started; the click goes down to Onboard, which types the letter of the
  Onboard key placed at the position of the click.

  So, in a few words: dash draws Onboard as if it was covered by dash,
  but Onboard behaves as if it is located over dash.

  Having a vivid backup from about one month ago, we were able to
  determine that the regression seem to have happened because of the
  update of libunity-core and the related packages somewhere between one
  month ago and today. In fact, the problem appeared in the test after
  updating the following packages and versions to the version shipping
  currently in the repositories.

  libunity-core-6.0-9   7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1
  libcairo-gobject2   1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1
  libcairo-script-interpreter2   1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1
  libcairo2   1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1
  libcairo2-dev   1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1
  unity   7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1
  unity-schemas   7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1
  unity-services   7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1

  Cheers
