Public bug reported:
This is a minor bug that seems to be a conflict between xorg and VMWare
Workstation 9 in Ubuntu 14.04. It seems most noticeable and prevalent
with dual monitors. This issue was not present in 12.04. The taskbar at
the top of the screen that is always present seems to give issues with
full screen VMWare. In 12.04, it would stay at the top for a bit and
then go away if you clicked anywhere in the full screen window. With
14.04, it doesn't show up at all anymore but it is still "there". It is
a ghost of it and then will be a selectable option. If you click in the
full screen window anywhere, the taskbar does not show at the top, but
it is still selectable as an option. The "focus" does not go to the full
screen. You can do things in there as long as the thing you are trying
to do doesn't reside at the top of the screen where it would be the
taskbar. Once you select the "top of the screen where the taskbar should
be, this makes the VMWare window the active window in xorg, it then goes
on top of the taskbar again. This is a major inconvenience bug because
when you try to select anything in the top right while the taskbar is
still "on top" of the full screen without appearing to be on top, it
will select either the calendar or power settings or anything up in the
top right.
Attached are screenshots as the process happens.
Step 1. Click on the screen which ISN'T FULL SCREEN VMWARE.
Step 2. Click anywhere in full screen VMWare window except top where taskbar
resides. Taskbar is hidden but still "on top".
Step 3. Click where taskbar is in right corner and it will overtake the full
screen window. You can select date, power, english, etc..
Step 4. Click anywhere else at very top of screen, taskbar will then go away
and VMWare fullscreen will work properly.
