Bug Description

If Totem, Firefox, EOG and probably others are in full screen mode (not just maximised), pressing the super key results in the dash appearing, but the launcher, dash and indicators do not respond to the mouse input. Hovering and clicking causes no reaction, although the cursor can be freely moved around.

It also occurs when the dash is open and the full screen mode in Totem is activated through the quick list.

EDIT: I am noticing that I can interact with the application below the dash overlay.

Thank you for your bug report, I can confirm that, it's displayed on top but not usable, could be a compiz focus issue
