A window has a child floating window, when it fullscreen, unity's panel show over fullscreen window

[jinchizhong]

run follow code....
============================================================
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'Qt4'
app = Qt::Application.new ARGV
w = Qt::MainWindow.new
t = Qt::ToolBar.new
t.addAction("xxx")
w.addToolBar(t)
w.showFullScreen
app.exec
============================================================
Drag mainwindow's toolbar, let it floating, then unity's panels show over mainwindow.
Drag mainwindow's toolbar, let it docked, then unity's panels is covered by mainwindow.

I get this when i execute your code. What am I missing? I have qt installed.

/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- Qt4 (LoadError)
 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
 from ./aa.rb:3:in `<main>'

sorry, run follow command first:
sudo apt-get install ruby-qt4

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Ok, I can reproduce that now.

[jinchizhong (jinchizhong)]

OK, thank you.
But, could you increase importance?
Some function of our product on unity desktop looks awful.
Our product is WPS for linux(A substitute of Microsoft Office).
Functions, looks awful, are fullscreen read for writer, rehearse timing for presentation.

[jinchizhong (jinchizhong)]

WPS for linux is still alpha.
You can write a message to <email address hidden> get a test copy.

This behaviour was intentional and makes sense when the floating window is a different app. For example:
  1. Open a web browser and full screen. Unity disappears.
  2. Open a terminal: Ctrl+Alt+T. Unity re-appears.

Unity is designed and meant to be visible whenever the top-most window is not fullscreen. However it sounds like what we really want is "whenever the focussed window is not full screen".

[jinchizhong (jinchizhong)]

I think you do not understand what I said.
See my second app.
When it run, it looks good.
But when you click "click here" button, unity appear.
And wherever you click, unity panels could not dis-appear.

[jinchizhong (jinchizhong)]

And I have test it on unity2D, KDE, GNOME3
No problem on there windows manager.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It's OK. I understand and remember the Unity source code that would be causing this :)
