Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

1) Start with no Terminal open, but some other window open (say, Firefox)
2) Click on the Terminal launcher

A Terminal will open, but it will be behind the Firefox window. Usually the hidden Terminal window asks for attention, sometimes it doesn't.

i am also having occasional issues where i can't raise a window by clicking it. currently i have 1 firefox window that is floating over everything.

sometimes open a new program will let me break out and windows will raise normally for a while

It is not clear in this bug if the problem is the same and which procedure one can use to reproduce the issue.
Can you give us a test case?

I don't believe I've had this problem (my original problem) since the compiz switchover. I'll close this bug out.
