Unity dashboard does not take focus when Web Browsers are in fullscreen mode

[Efrain Valles]

Having a browser in fullscreen mode prevents unity from having access to the cursor and click on the icons shown by the lens. Even though Unity still shows the transparency still allows you to see the website is still active and you can move the mouse around and hover over links.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:

1) Open a website on Firefox or Chromium/Chrome

2) Switch to fullscreen mode with F11

3) hit super key to bring up the Unity Dashboard

4) Try to click on a result icon.

The Expected result:

One is able to click on icons normally.

The Actuall result:

Clicking on the icons on the unity lens does not work because the website sitll has the focus.
