Panel (and launcher) does not disappear on full screen videos

[Sam_]

Follow up from Natty Bug #761219
Watch full screen video in totem, panel and launcher are displayed.
Watch full screen youtube video with firefox, it displays panel with title 'plugin container'.
Screenshots attached.

Expected.
Hide the panel, otherwise it easily disturbes visualization experience.

Thank you for your bug report, do you get the issue every time? It doesn't seem to happen there...

[Sam_ (and-sam)]

Yep it happens every time, but I should've been more specific.
Launcher is set to 'dodge windows', when firefox is full screen (per window button) the launcher is hidden.
When totem is full screen (per ui button not windows button) it doesn't hide nor does the panel.
Immediately after making totem full screen (per ui button) the launcher hides for ~0,5 sec., appears again and remains visible.
Youtube video, full screen per flashplayer button (firefox is already full screen per window button), then the panel is visible.
Actually there is no way to dodge the panel (as it was with gnome2), it's just always visible.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Weird issue. I cannot reproduce it here. Can you try running unity --reset and see if it fixes the issue?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

is that a multimonitor setup?

[Sam_ (and-sam)]

Omer, no it's a single monitor. Bilal, a unity --reset doesn't change anything except blowing my config away. Indeed weird, at least I wonder that you don't see the panel or rather the icons on full screen mode. Here the panel overlays any full screen window as shown in videos. Launcher and panel opacity are almost set to null.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Sam_: Does it also happen if you login to a guest session? I have not seen a similar bug this cycle in any bug report but it have happened in the past to alot of people.

[Sam_ (and-sam)]

Sorry Omer that I didn't think of it before, and yes in guest session totem full screen mode runs as expected, no panel, no launcher visible, hence this bug is invalid. Now I've just need to locate which setting is the culprit. My apologies for wasting your time.
