panel wrongfully appears on top of fullscreen windows when switching workspaces

[oh]

Binary package hint: compiz

When switching _TO_ a workspace with a fullscreen window, if you are switching FROM a workspace where the panel is visible AND any window in that workspace is focused, the panel will not disappear and it will overlap the window which is supposed to be fullscreen on the panel you are switching TO. The panels do not go away from the fullscreen workspace until the fullscreen window is manually clicked/focused. REPRODUCE: fullscreen xterm on workspace 1, move ot workspace 2, click on panel, move to workspace 1 and see panel where it should not be visible.

This is gutsy, updated/upgraded via apt-get yesterday, running on a lenovo thinkpad x60 w/intel 945 graphics. OpenGL programs work nicely on this machine, with compiz they are somewhat slower. I run the normal X server, not Xgl, since when I enable Xgl everything except panning between workspaces gets very slow (wobbling, for instance).

I have enabled "extra" desktop effects - wobbling, panning workspace switching (not the cube). I run many workspaces and switch between them with ctrl-f1, ctrl-f2 etc.

I usually dedicate some workspaces to running applications in full-screen (not maximized, but full-screen) mode - an xterm for irc on one workspace, a fullscreen firefox on another, etc. Normally I have a desktop shortcut (shift-ctrl-enter) to toggle fullscreen, so i use it a lot.

Did anyone find a workaround for this bug ? It gets pretty annoying when working with several fullscreen terms...

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/

I cannot reproduce this in hardy.

Alright, I've seen this now.

I reproduced this on Hardy and it's quite annoying. I did an upgrade from Gutsy ...
