Alt+F2 "Run Dialog" box appears and hides behind

[D B]

When you hit alt+f2, with the new gnome-panel as of today 1/18, the dialog appears and quickly hides behind a window leaving your prior open window available.

A quick alt+tab will bring it back as it just loses focus right away for some odd reason.

It should stay on top of the app open when the hotkey is pressed.

Thanks for your bug. That's a known issue already fixed upstream

[D B (eburner)]

If "upstream" means the latest Dapper updates, I just dist-upgraded today and it's still a problem. If I do alt+f2, and then alt+f2 again, then the "run application" window appears

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

no, upstream == who makes the application == GNOME in this case. It's been closed with the upload when the Ubuntu package is updated
