Global menu can be confusing if focused window is hidden

[Timmmm]

I know there are lots of bugs about the new global menu, but I'm not sure this has been reported. Basically, on occasion, you can find that the currently focused window (and therefore the global menu) is *underneath* another maximised window.

This seems to happen when starting new apps. I attached a screenshot that shows Firefox focused, and controlling the global menu, but the foreground maximized window is XChat! Very confusing.

Dammit, forgot to actually attach the screenshot...

Related to bug #860837 , though not a duplicate.

Can you also check if the version of compiz in oneiric-proposed fixes the issue?

Assigning to Robert, please re-assign as appropriate.

Hello,
as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 LTS, I'm marking this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release, please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the 16.04 LTS development cycle.

Regards
