andyrock, another solution for this problem would be to automatically make Fullscreen-windows be "Always On Top". When toggling fullscreen this status should be reverted to the previous state...
To test this solution, simply start a video with your favorite player, turn "Always On Top" on for your videoplayer window and fullscreen it afterwards. Now click somewhere into your second monitor. Normally in this case the panel would show up on-top of the running video on your first monitor, but not if the player has been set to be on top first... WORKAROUND FOR THIS BUG: Turn "Always On Top" on via right-clicking the titlebar of your window, before making it go fullscreen. This will prevent the Unity panel from rendering on top of this fullscreen-window, when using the other screen. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: unity See the attached screenshot. When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor, but another program is focused on the other monitor, then the unity panel is displayed at when it shoudn't be. I appreciate this probably isn't a priority, but for a future release it would be good seeing as it's the little details that matter. ------------------------------ Desired solution: - When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor, but another program is focused on the other monitor, the unity menu bar should not be displayed on the monitor that is displaying the fullscreen app. - When fixing this bug, also look at bug #1065425 + + WORKAROUND FOR THIS BUG: + Turn "Always On Top" on via right-clicking the titlebar of your window, before making it go fullscreen. + This will prevent the Unity panel from rendering on top of this fullscreen-window, when using the other screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/748539 Title: Multi-monitor - Panel and launcher visible on top of multimonitor non- focused fullscreen apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/748539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
