Title:
  Dash randomly becomes transparent to mouse events

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

Bug description:
  Don't tell me "can't reproduce". Almost surely you can't. This has
  just happened to me randomly, it will probably disappear at the next
  reboot and it will probably be ages until the next time it randomly
  happens again. However this is HUGE.

  Dash has suddenly become transparent to mouse interaction. For example
  - I click on the Dash icon on Launcher
  - (optuonal) I type the name of some application
  - I click on the icon of some application that I want to launch

  Instead, I am clicking on whatever is behind it.

  This is a CRITICAL SECURITY ISSUE, as you may accidentally click on a
  button to confirm some destructive action (or to send an email before
  you finish writing it), if it happens to be behind the icon you are
  trying to click.

  You can LITERALLY (and I'm not abusing the word "literally") format
  your hard drive because of this bug.

  Besides, obviously, rendering Dash unusable and making you unable to
  launch any application.

  When the issue appears, it won't go away. I tried ctrl+super+D twice,
  clicking on random other launcher icons, and the like.

  The only workaround I can think of is reboot.
