andreasrasholm (andreasrasholm) wrote : Launcher and global menu bar get invisible after Focuswriter is minimized from full-screen

1) I'm using Ubuntu 12.10. The bug has to do with the integration of the full-screen writing app Focuswriter within Unity. It appeared some time before I switched (via fresh install) from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 - probably caused by a an automatically updated change that persist in 12.10:

2) The bug occurs when I'm using Focuswriter 1.3.6-1 (executable path: /usr/bin/focuswriter).

I've reported the bug to the developer of the program here: https://github.com/gottcode/focuswriter/issues/101. He has labeled the bug "upstream" saying that the bug can only be fixed in Unity.

3) When I minimize Focuswriter from full-screen I expect seeing my desktop, the launcher and the global menu bar - as when minimizing any other full-screen app.

4) What happens instead when I minimize Focuswriter after it has been in full-screen mode is that the launcher and the global menu bar are invisible. Instead of seeing them I just see their outline the color of my desktop background where it should have been. The launcher and global menu become visible if I click these areas once.
