This is actually a unity bug not a bug in the Debian Almquist Shell (dash).

Thank you for spending time to filing a bug , to make ubuntu better.

I am not be able to reproduce this bug
questions
1) is this bug reproduce able ?
2) if so than please define the steps to reproduce?

also attach a screenshot or vedio with it thankx.

I can reproduce this bug; see the attached screenshots. The windows are rendered on top of the dash, and also on top of the alt+tab dialog. However, you can "click through" them, and the dash also has keyboard focus.

For me, I can reproduce this 100% with maximized windows, and most of the time with normal windows.

My graphics are intel i915. Package versions:

unity: 4.22.0-0ubuntu3
compiz: 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu5

Let me know if I can get the developers extra debugging info.

Can you give any specific steps on how to get it into this state? Are
you running an up-to-date compiz?

For me, it happens immediately after login with a firefox window. I don't need any steps to reproduce it (this is obviously unworkable, so I'm using gnome-shell at the moment).

I've tried to experiment with this a bit more.

 * This happens every time at logon. The first window is always above the dash if it is maximized, and sometimes if it is not. It seems that either all or no windows are on top of the dash.
 * I cannot seem to find any reproducible steps to stop this behaviour, even though it occasionally disappears and comes back during a session.
 * The problem disappears after running unity --replace in a terminal window.

I've attached my .xsession-errors of a session showing this behaviour.

I can get you some info about X / compiz internal state if you tell me what debug packages to install, where to set a breakpoint and what to look for.

This bug also affects me. Running "unity --reset" or (--replace) fixes the problem but only for one session. When I log out and in again, alt-tab/alt-F2/dash windows appear below all others is back.
