I see this with VLC too, so it's probably with any fullscreen app. However, at least on 15.04, ticking the 'Always on top' option via the right-click titlebar menu of the video window is an effective workaround.
This seems to suggest it ought to be easy to fix? It's clear Unity can draw things correctly with the 'always on top' setting, so it seems like it just needs to understand that full-screen is very similar to 'always on top'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774487 Title: Totem/VLC etc. goes to background when full-screen and out of focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/774487/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
