Bug Description

Ubuntu 11.10
Unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2

Step to reproduce:
1. Open a PDF with the default viewer
2. Press F11 to switch to fullscreen
3. Open the dash (keyboard win button)

What happens
text input inside the dash works, other than that the app behind the dash have the focus in all cases, i.e. clicking on any icon in the dash would select the text in the app, only the search box works.

What should happen
The dash should have the complete focus no matter we have a fullscreen app in the background.

Seems not to be an issue for me. Can you check again if its still an issue or if there are any other steps I should take to reproduce the problem.

I note that the search box works but when you try to click on the applications icons they doesn't work and if you have a text behind it the cursor will also change.
