Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
If the unity sidebar is set to one of the hide modes (Autohide, Dodge
windows, or Dodge active window), and then shown by moving the mouse to
the top-left corner, the sidebar becomes focused and the currently
focused window stops being focused until the sidebar hides itself again,
or until an application icon is clicked.
This behavior is bad for two reasons. One, it means that you cannot type
into the focused window until the sidebar hides again, which leads to an
annoying couple of second waiting, or a loss of input if you forget to
wait. Two, this interferes with the behavior whereby clicking on the
icon for a focused app with more than one window scales all the windows
for this app. Because the app loses focus when the sidebar is shown, you
have to click on the icon once to refocus it, then again to invoke the
window scale behavior, which is inconvenient and also makes the scale
behavior much less discoverable.
