I am confirming the same problem as in #38 and #39. The bug still
persists and it is very annoying. I am running Ubuntu 14.04.3 with
VMware Workstation.

When I have a VM running full-screen on one monitor and I switch focus
to a different window, the Unity top bar appears over the full-screen
VMware Workstation. Switching the focus back to the Workstation does not
resolve the problem. Only switching it from full-screen and then back
helps.

Title:
  Multi-monitor - Panel and launcher visible on top of multimonitor non-
  focused fullscreen apps

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity 6.0 series:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  See the attached screenshot.

  When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor,
  but another program is focused on the other monitor, then the unity
  panel is displayed at when it shoudn't be.

  I appreciate this probably isn't a priority, but for a future release
  it would be good seeing as it's the little details that matter.

  ------------------------------
  Desired solution:

  - When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor,
  but another program is focused on the other monitor, the unity menu
  bar should not be displayed on the monitor that is displaying the
  fullscreen app.

  - When fixing this bug, also look at bug #1065425

  WORKAROUND FOR THIS BUG:
  Turn "Always On Top" on via right-clicking the titlebar of your window, before making it go fullscreen.
  This will prevent the Unity panel from rendering on top of this fullscreen-window, when using the other screen.
