Correction on #4: looks like I can interact with Chromium windows that aren't on top, but only if I click on an area of the window that isn't covered up by another browser. Bear with me: For example, suppose I have three Chromium browser windows open with #1 in the front and #3 in the back, and each sticks out about 1" past each other on the right. If I click on the scrollbar of #3, I can interact with it. Technically that brings #3 to the top even though it's not being drawn that way. #2 is still visible, but if I click on anything on #2, I am in fact messing with browser #3 as it's on top in every respect except for being drawn on top by the UI.
I cannot get browser window #3 to be drawn on top by the UI unless I do something that causes the window to move or resize. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311172 Title: Chromium appears to stay on top of other applications even when it is not Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: (This may be related to but not the same as 1030060 and 1173234.) Chromium stays on top of other applications, even when it shouldn't be drawn on the screen at all. For example, if I minimize Chromium, it is still drawn as if it's on top of other applicaitons. Even though I cannot see these other applicaitons or parts thereof that were behind Chromium, I can interact with them with the mouse as if they are on top and in focus. Also, even if Chromium is not minimized, it is still drawn above other applications even if another application gets the focus due to me interacting with it. I can reproduce this on both a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 and an install of Xubuntu that started with 12.10 and has successively been upgraded through every release.
