I have this bug in ubuntu 14.04 however only when using a certain display configuration.
I have an nvidia graphics card and I typically use 3 displays, 2 monitors and a TV connected via HDMI cloning the output of one of the dual monitors. In this configuration its not possible to have any full screen application open without unity appearing on top of the application. If I switch the TV to being a separate display rather than using the clone option the problem goes away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
