GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 613701
Panel sometimes appears on top of fullscreen applications
Last modified: 2010-04-06 19:21:30 UTC
While applications like Firefox test well, OpenGL applications (games via Wine for example, or EDuke32) appear underneath the panel when they are fullscreen. EDuke32 was the most noticeable, as other applications could sometimes be shown above the panel when some key combinations were pressed, or there was no resolution change, but EDuke32 was always shown below the panel, making it fairly unusable. http://eduke32.com/ There was no way to take a screenshot of this behavior. PRINTSCRN caused the panel to no longer show in the Wine applications I tested, and didn't function at all in EDuke32.
This bug now also applies to fullscreen Flash from Firefox, though still not to displaying Firefox itself fullscreen.
Should be fixed now see 614509 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 614509 ***
