Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
Metacity allows one to run a window "full screen", which hides all window decorations and uses all screen real estate for the window. This does NOT maximize the window. In this state, the spelling dialog pops UNDER the main gedit window, and cannot be raised. Steps to reproduce: Start gedit Make the window full-screen in Metacity (Go to System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts to bind this to a key) Type a misspelled word, I use "thate" Go to Tools > Check Spelling Observed behavior: Check Spelling window is not visible. Using Alt-Tab, it appears in the window list and can be selected, but it never becomes visible. None of the controls of the gedit main window are accessible. One must Shift-Tab then Space to exit the window (ESC doesn't do it). Expected behavior: Check Spelling window appears above the main gedit window.
