combobox dropdown behind window

[David Henningsson]

Binary package hint: unity

Comboboxes are unusable under Natty because its dropdown menu is behind all active windows. Tried to make a screenshot to show you, but I can't do that without the dropdown closing again.

David: it's not relevant for this bug as its already known in duplicates, but if you're trying to take a screenshot in a situation like this where you need to "set things up" it's normally possible to use Gimp's delayed-screenshot functionality (File->Create->Screenshot...) and set it to 5 to 10 seconds delay depending on how much you need to rearrange and re-click first.
