unity dash and panel remain in background with maximized MATLAB windows

[Bart Vermeulen]

When running Matlab and having the windows maximized dash doesn't appear when pushing the Super button. Although you can see it is opened from the icons in the upper left of the screen, still other windows remain on top (including windows other than MATLAB). Also when moving the mouse to the left edge, no panel appears.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on the current 11.10 release. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/). Please keep in mind that the development version (12.04) is not suitable for daily use - please only use it for testing purposes.

Thank you for your help and patience.
