Public bug reported: Weird behaviour with Unity launcher. I run a fair number of windows during the day, Chrome, a couple terminator sessions, IRC, mumble and so forth. I usually maximize the chrome window and use the app switcher in compiz to swap between the other windows. What I've found is that at some point after I've been running for a while, the Unity launcher stops appearing on top of everything.
Instead, it appears under all windows. Unfortunately, the graphics system seems to think this is not the case. I tried several screenshots and every single one showed the launcher and the app lens on top of everything, even though to me, it appeared below everything. So, I'm attaching a photo taken with a digital camera. If you look closely at the photo, you'll notice a couple of things. First, there's a Shutter window open showing one of the screen caps that clearly shows the launcher and app lens on top. BUT if you look just to the left, you'll see that in fact, the launcher is actually BEHIND the terminator window. Try as I might, every screencap shows the launcher as it SHOULD be, not as I actually see it. I'm running natty with latest updates and the nVidia binary drivers. This is on an Alienware M15x with an nVidia GeForce GT240M card. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809897 Title: Unity launcher appears UNDER windows though screencap shows it on top of windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/809897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
