Unity bar opening under fullscreen apps.

[Wayne Stark]

Ubuntu 11.10 3d Unity. Fully Updated.
When moving the cursor to the left in fullscreen, it sometimes appears the Unity bar is not responding.
However I have discovered it is appearing underneath the open application instead of above it.
This only happens when one application is open, when 2 are opened on the same workspace, the Unity bar works as it should.
Requires minimizing the opened app to get to the Unity bar.

what do you mean by fullscreen? there is a difference between fullscreen and maximized.

[Wayne Stark (wastark-gmail)]

Sorry,
I meant when apps are maximised.
I think I have solved the problem though.
After installing gnome-tweak-tool, I needed to enable "have file manager handle the desktop".
Either that or an update since seems to have sorted it.

closed, since its not an issue for you anymore.
