Bug Description

STR:

1. Open two Nautilus windows
2. Open dash and search for a video, audio or image file (e.g. How Fast.ogg)
3. Click on the file

Expected results:
Dash closes, totem, rhythmbox or image viewer opens as a front window.

Actual results:
Dash closes, totem, rhythmbox or image viewer opens behind the top Nautilus window. In case the active window is fullscreen, viewer gets started in background and it is not immediately obvious one needs to switch to it using the launcher.

Not sure if this is in some way related to bug 1119798 , but I have seen this happen with other applications as well not being opened as the front window

Can you still reproduce this? We fixed similar bugs so maybe it's fixed for you already.
