Bug Description

If I have gnome-terminal and any other program's window open, the terminal doesn't hide if it gets unfocused. See the attached screenshot.
This is only a problem in multi-monitor mode. I'm not sure if the bugreport includes this, so:

Maybe gnome-terminal is also affected? Also, I can't test it in normal Unity.

Yes this is a duplicate. Tonight I'm going to try other terminals to
see if they work - the problem is with the transparent background of
the terminal. more precisely, with the option to have it, so I guess
that terminals that don't have the ability to have transparent
background will work.
Mark as a duplicate, please
Thank you
