unity launcher keeps on top when running java programs (do not autohide)

i think this happens only with java programs. and as i am java developer, use netbeans all day and that s##$% keeps happening.

if i can help anyother way please say. that is disturbing

I confirm this bug with Matlab (uses a Java-based UI)

[Séverin Lemaignan (skadge)]

This thread lists other cases (and propose a workaround: simply hover the launcher with a desktop icon):

nice that is confirmed.
i am using the workaround. but that sucks. thanks.

[Haedri (jb-launchpad)]

Same with yed (java too)
Thanks for the workaround, it was driving me crazy

Happens to me using LibreOffice. I will try disabling Java in Libreoffice settings and report back when the bug shows up again.

[asmodey (pavel-finkelshtein)]

Affects me too. Intellij IDEA

[WhyNotHugo (whynothugo)]

Num lock fix worked here, though none of the others do.
The issue seems to ocurr when Banshee is running, and the initial forum thread reported KeePass as well. Both are mono-based, so this seems to me that mono and java are causing this.

[Scott Burlington (burlresearch)]

This drives me nuts too; NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, PHPStorm, KeepassX...

Let me know when this is fixed and I'll start running Unity again.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Scott, enable natty proposed repository and we have a fix for you
there I believe.

[saulo (saulo-venancio-gmail)]

I think there is to ttake more attention to this bug. A lot of people use
java programs.

Atenciosamente,

This bug affects me when I run vmware player.

[Laszlo KREKACS (laszlo-krekacs-list)]

This still happen to me in ubuntu 13.10.
Maybe it is when I run the update utility.
