Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1) Click on the dash Home icon

2) Instead of using the dash, click on one of the icons on the sidebar of an application that is already running

3) The application moves to the foreground but the title bar is not usable and only becomes so when you either:

a) Click on the application window
b) Click on the application icon in the sidebar

What I would expect to happen is that the application moves to the foreground and the title bar is usable immediately.

Hope this makes sense. Have not tried with applications on the sidebar which aren't running.

Thanks,
Twig.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.1.1+13.10.20131004-0ubuntu1

unity (7.1.1+13.10.20131004-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * Break the bump detection by moving to the first icon, then down 5
    pixels. Since bump detection needs to move in 3 different
    directions.
  * Move the switcher Alt+<ArrowKey> shortcut handling into nux, from
    compiz. Now nux handles these events instead of compiz. This way its
    makes much more sense code wise and we no longer ungrab the arrow
    gets from X... so Alt+LeftArrow will no longer open the hud. (LP:
    #969039)

  [ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * Fix bad redrawing of dash overlay scrollbar connector. (LP:
    #1233195)
  * Update icon_under_mouse before process mouse movemnt in the tooltip
    manager. (LP: #1172769, #1233666)
  * Hide the tooltip when an app is closed. (LP: #1172769)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * TestIMTextEntry: fix failing tests with IBus, use TEST_F and TEST_P.
  * CairoBaseWindow: only regenerate blur texture when visible and
    damaged. (LP: #1233109)
  * CairoBaseWindow: add fade animator to control both QL and Tooltip
    Removing the animator from LauncherIcon, and handling the tooltip
    animation inside the QL and Tooltip base class.
  * PanelService: close a menu and re-send the keyevent when handling a
    combination Or when we try to open HUD/Dash. Also, close the active
    menu if a new application is opened and focused. (LP: #10905,
    #1234457, #1197071)
  * SimpleLauncherIcon: we need to restore the focus when closing the
    Overlay for activation. (LP: #909870)
  * LauncherIcon: don't try to show again quicklists or tooltip if
    center changed, just move them. (LP: #1234778)
  * AbstractLauncherIcon: add static icon_size property. (LP: #1073103)
