dash icon focused but window never appears

[Jim Pharis]

Neither clicking on the Dash icon or hitting super key brings up the Dash window. The icon does become focused and min/max/close still appears in the upper left.

Also, did try a unity --reset which didn't change anything.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Seems like a driver issue to me. Does disabling blur in the Unity plugin settings CCSM help things?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Is that an issue for you in Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2?
