Bug Description
Currently on the tablet, when one of the legacy apps (eg Firefox or Libreoffice) is launched in desktop mode, switching to staged mode shows a message prompt in which you can only close the app (the other option doesn't have a button and the string is too long, at least in French).
This message is extremely disruptive, you can only turn off your app or toggle the desktop mode back on. Running legacy apps in staged mode may be discouraged, but in that case, why not show this message when you launch an app in staged mode? At the very least, there should be an option to say "OK, I know what I'm doing and I really want to run Libreoffice in staged mode".
Thanks!

I believe this is actually a function of Unity 8 to show the dialog. Marking U8 as affected.
