Bug Description
The screenshot shows a situation that shouldn't ever be possible under any circumstances:
The currently focused window, which should be on the foreground, is invisible.
I have several applications open and I switched from one to another several times. Among them is one Nautilus window. Now, I click on the Nautilus icon in the Launcher, and the Nautilus window which gets focus does not appear anywhere. You can tell that every other window looses focus, and you can see that the Launcher icon has the triangle on the right indicating the Nautilus window has focus. Also, the menu on the top of the screen is Nautilus's.
No matter how many times I try to switch window, no matter if I show and hide desktop, there's no way I get to see that window.
There's NO EASY WAY TO REPRODUCE THAT I KNOW OF (hence please don't tell me "can't reproduce", I don't expect you to be able to). It just happened.
I guess this is extremely rare. I seem to remember this is not the very first time I see this happen, but it might well be just the second. In my whole life.
Still a bug.
