I have the same issue on several computers with ubuntu 14.04/unity. I can reproduce also with :
1. open terminal 2. go to full screen (F11) 3. go to Desktop (SUPER+D) --> no launcher and top panel, no access to launcher via SUPER 4. switch to another non full screen app with ALT-TAB --> no launcher and top panel so no menu... 5. switch back to full screen app with ALT-TAB 6. switch to another app and it's ok, back as usual... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505796 Title: Unity panel disappearing after quiting fullscreen mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1505796/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
