  Launcher visible while switching fullscreen applications

Bug description:
  Hello, today I stumbled upon an issue while using unity (I had not
  used the desktop in this scenario for quite long).

  I started two applications (Google Chrome and Zim Desktop Wiki). I had
  to read something in Chrome and make note in the note taker
  application (Zim). I had no business getting distracted by other
  applications, so I made both application take fullscreen of my monitor
  (using F11 on both). I would switch between only these two
  applications using Alt + Tab, read stuffs on Chrome and take note on
  Zim (as I stated earlier). However, every time I switched, launcher
  and menu bar showed.

  I thought, this might be the solution for some use cases, which I am
  not aware of. I then, started searching similar feature in other
  desktop environments namely gnome, cinnamon, gnome classic, unity 2D
  but did not find this issue in any of them.

  So, is this a feature I am not aware of, or is it a bug, or a result
  of some changes I made accidentally? I recall discussing Alt + Tab
  behavior a lot on omgubuntu, but I don't remember this feature was
  ever discussed. Can you guys enlighten me a little about this?
