Bug Description

Ok, so I have pantheon-terminal's window set to "Always on top" but its minimised in plank.

I launched Updated manger and it loads up, I click Check and it loads updates.

I try to click "Install" but the cursor is the "Text edit" cursor (Like a capital I).

When I right click (All i can see when I do this is the install button) I get the same right-lick menu as in the terminal, copy paste etc and I lcick the about option and it brings up the about dialogue for pantheon-files.

Somehow although minimised the window was still ontop of the other windows.

I am having difficulty re-producing it but I have run into the same issue in the past.

I un-minimised the terminal from plank and it did the effect when you un-minimise apps and moved it away.

Please try to get a reliable way to reproduce this, otherwise it's very hard, if not impossible, to fix.

I confirm the same bug.
Bug reproduction:
1) Open two windows of single app, for example firefox.
2) Minimize one window.
3) Switch to another workspace
4) Select app (firefox) from dock. It will navigate to previous space.
5) Try right click on empty place, where minimized window meant to be. The context menu belongs to minimized window, even if it is invisible. If bug does not appear, try from 3) step again.
