Title:
  Unity panels steal input events while under (some) fullscreen windows

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  
  I have 3x 1920x1080 monitors arranged horizontally. Unity is configured to duplicate the launcher on every monitor.

  
  Video cards:

  2x AMD R270 in CrossfireX
  Driver: fglrx-updates (because the open source driver would always kill my X session when I open any LibreOffice app)

  
  Description:

  When telling an application to go full screen, it is correctly
  displayed full screen; however, when clicking in that full screen
  window, the Unity panels (hidden underneath) will steal its input
  events.

  
  Problems with:

   - Chromium playing any YouTube video full screen
   - VMware Player in full screen mode

  
  No problem with:

   - Chromium browsing any website while in full screen browsing mode (e.g. pressing F11)
   - Chromium playing any YouTube video full screen *after* pressing F11 to put browser in full screen mode
   - Default movie player playing video in full screen mode

  
  As a layman, it appears there are multiple methods for an application to go full screen, and at least one of those methods is not handled properly by either Unity or something related to the window manager.
