Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Steps to reproduce (Unity hide mode is Dodge active window)
!) Open a text file with gEdit
2) Maximize gEdit -> Unity is hidden
3) Press Ctrl+F to search the file -> the search dialog appears
4) Type something to search for

Expected result: the typed text appears in the search textbox, as the search window should remain focused
What happened instead: when the search dialog opens in the center of the screen, Unity is displayed, as the active window (the search window) doesn't obscure it anymore, but it also gets focus, so when you type something, the keyboard input goes to the Unity launcher, not to the search window

This also happens as you drag a windows away from the launcher area.

Unable to reproduce this with very latest Unity with default settings (unity --reset will reset the settings to the very latest).
