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.
