Comment 18 for bug 1069451

On Ubuntu+1 section of Ubuntu forums I was asked to check if this bug had been fixed in Raring Ringtail 13.04. It has not been fixed. Tested with Firefox. F11 maximizes Firefox and f11 restores Firefox but when Firefox is minimized using the icon in the top right corner of the maximized window (do not know a keyboard shortcut for this) then Firefox minimizes and the global menu and the launcher disappear even when autohide is turned off.

When the mouse pointer is clicked in the area of the notification icons. Then the icons appear and can be accessed. The menus remain available. The Launcher also appears but is inactive until the notification menus disappear and then the Launcher hides.

As Firefox is number 2 in the Launcher - pressing Super+2 will un-minimize Firefox and if it is then restored the global menu and the Launcher reappear.
