Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1. Run Firefox.
2. Run Synaptic (non-maximized) and select a program to install or to
reinstall.
3. Click Apply and OK to install/reinstall the program and then while Synaptic
is downloading, click on Firefox to bring the Firefox window to the front.
4. When Synaptic finishes downloading and starts installing, it brings its
window and dialog back to the front, ie in front of Firefox's window.
5. Click on either the part of the Firefox window visible behind Synaptic or on
the Firefox icon in unity-launcher to try and restore to the front.
Result: nothing happens. Unity does not bring Firefox's window back to
the front, presumably because unity still thinks Firefox is the current
application/front window.
The only workaround I've found is to click on the Synaptic window or its
unity-launcher icon and then to click on Firefox to bring it back to the
front.
