Bug Description
Hello, today I stumbled upon an issue while using unity (I had not used the desktop in this scenario for quite long).
I started two applications (Google Chrome and Zim Desktop Wiki). I had to read something in Chrome and make note in the note taker application (Zim). I had no business getting distracted by other applications, so I made both application take fullscreen of my monitor (using F11 on both). I would switch between only these two applications using Alt + Tab, read stuffs on Chrome and take note on Zim (as I stated earlier). However, every time I switched, launcher and menu bar showed.
I thought, this might be the solution for some use cases, which I am not aware of. I then, started searching similar feature in other desktop environments namely gnome, cinnamon, gnome classic, unity 2D but did not find this issue in any of them.
So, is this a feature I am not aware of, or is it a bug, or a result of some changes I made accidentally? I recall discussing Alt + Tab behavior a lot on omgubuntu, but I don't remember this feature was ever discussed. Can you guys enlighten me a little about this?

Not sure if this is the wanted behavior.
