dash is click-through if invoked over a fullscreen app

[Ananth P]

Open any application with full screen feature (F11) for example firefox/shotwell photo manager.
Press the super key which brings the dash.
Search for something (e.g. notes). search results are shown (tomboy notes). But we could not select any result using mouse. For that matter, anything on the dash, including the dash button.
This issue is not there is the dash is displayed on normal windows.
Even if there is a full screen application. If it is not an active window, dash behaves correctly.
Also there is no issue using keyboard.
If a new normal window comes up while the dash is on, immediately mouse is working. For example, when the dash is on a full screen application, press print screen which will bring the screen capture window behind dash. Now selection with mouse on dash is not a problem.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Yes. It is consistently reproducible.
I have already given detailed steps in the description. Let me add bullets to it :--)

1. Open any application with full screen feature (F11) for example firefox/shotwell photo manager.
2. Press the super key which brings the dash.
3. Search for something (e.g. notes). search results are shown (tomboy notes). But we could not select any result using mouse. For that matter, anything on the dash, including the dash button.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Confirmed in Oneiric. The mouse clicks through the dash to the full screen window below.

[Efrain Valles (effie-jayx)]

I can confirm this still happens in Ubuntu 12.04 alpha 1

That's still an issue in precise
