I'm using Ubuntu 11.04

Sometimes when I use some applications in fullscreen mode, the unity panel is still visible on top of the app, I can't do anything to fix. It doesn't happens always but often.

It's similar to the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/734908 but I'm using one monitor

Could you kindly list the apps with which you managed to reproduce this? I tried this with chromium, totem and eog but wasn't able to reproduce this.

I can confirm this bug with single monitor setup. The application is the game called Braid.
I don't want it to run Braid in fullscreen, because then it can't be controlled with window-manager (e.g. I can't minimize the game). So I start Braid in windowed mode with width and height equal to my screen resolution and compiz setup to remove window decorations for Braid and to show it in fullscreen. Everything works as expected, except that I still see the panel.

Status changed to confirmed because I'm not the only one who's been wating a very long time for someone to address this bug.

This may be a design flaw.
