Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, release 12.04
gnome-terminal version 3.4.1.1-0ubuntu1
1) I expect the application menu to be in front of the terminal window, if they
"collide in space".
2) I expect the terminal window to move back behind other windows if these get
activated.
3) If the terminal window is visible in the front after an action like in (2)
(well, it should not be, but if!) I expect it to further react on mouse actions
What happens instead (yes, it's reproduceable)
1) the menu is hidden behind the window of the terminal application. As a ugly
workaround I can resize the window to keep enough free space between menu bar
and terminal window to show the menu nevertheless - but that's definitively no
solution.
2) The terminal window stays in front, but is not active to any interaction any
more. It can be reactivated by clicking in the dock (as a workaround).
Minimizing a terminal window using the minimize-button in the windows title bar
works as expected.
3) mouse actions are sent and handled by the next application that is on the
desktop. Thus mouse interaction works "correct" as if the terminal window has
been minimized as expected.
I assume that it's one bug alltogether:
* Using the on-top-menu of the terminal application, which is not part of the
window in 12.04 any more deactivates the terminal window technically. The
deactivated window seems to stay on top accidently.
* therefore the menu as well as the "other application" are drawn behind the
window, but that's again because of the first issue.
