Starting in 6.0, Unity honours the window stacking order more accurately than it used to. This means old bugs where Unity (Nux) windows weren't stacked correctly will now become more obvious :(
But this isn't a new problem. I encountered this bug myself today on Unity 5.12 (Ubuntu 12.04). ** Changed in: unity Milestone: None => 6.2 ** Description changed: - Unity's Dock disappears behind all other windows, as you can see from - the attached screenshot (making the dock just visible through the - shortcut Command+W). + Confirmed in Ubuntu 11.10, 1204 and 12.10... + Unity randomly goes behind other windows, which should never happen. + + ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: + Unity's Dock disappears behind all other windows, as you can see from the attached screenshot (making the dock just visible through the shortcut Command+W). Once it has disappeared, the only workaround is to close all applications/restart the desktop to be able to access dock icons or launch any applications through text search, since everything has disappeared to an inaccessible layer. ** Description changed: - Confirmed in Ubuntu 11.10, 1204 and 12.10... + Confirmed in Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 and 12.10...
