This issue occurs with smplayer, VLC, and totem. I found a workaround for this issue.
1) Install and execute "CompizConfig Settings Manager"(execute ccsm on the shell) 2) Visit general>compositing and remove !(class=Vlc) from "unredirect match" to solve the issue for VLC only Or set "unredirect match" to "(all)" to solve the issue for every application. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156327 Title: Unity shown over fullscreen VLC video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1156327/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
