Fullscreen window set to "Always on Top" in single-monitor will hide the lockscreen

Thank you for your bug report. I can't confirm that issue here though

Neither do I.

I'll try get a video of the bug in action when im home. Is there any other information that could be useful to provide?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I was able to reproduce that bug with Totem, VLC and Chrome. I didn't test other programs.

The key to reproduce is the "Always on Top" setting. You have to right click the window decoration and check that setting and then just go to fullscreen and lock the screen. You will see the video or webpage and other things in a bleed through mode and no elements of the lock screen.

Typing the password unlocks screen.

I don't confirm the problem occuring when the screen locks automatically after timeout. I couldn't reproduce that part of Bug Description.

Ok, same seems to happen with youtube flash videos... The reason way I wasn't getting this is becasue it doesn't seem to happen in multi-monitor mode.

I believe this bug affects me as well. Here's what happened when I locked a flash video in fullscreen:

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.2.0+14.10.20140512.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.2.0+14.10.20140512.4-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * lockscreen/LockScreenAccelerators.h: added required header for
    std:vector definition
  * disabled precompiled headers on arm64 Ubuntu package builds (LP:
    #1317276)

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * Set the max width, so our static text wraps. So we don't end up
    rendering text out of the view area. (LP: #1312749)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * UnityScreen: toggle activation of all the unity compiz actions when
    locking the screen Also, make sure that the lockscreen views are
    treated as "always-on-front" windows by nux (and this applies to
    both visibility and events).
  * PanelService: emit an invalid EntryActivated signal if the menu
    hasn't actually been shown In addition, if the menu is not visible
    after the first popup call, try to show a menu without keyboard
    focus. This will make possible to see menus also when there's a key-
    grab (although they will be without keyboard support). Finally,
    reset the menu state, if that failed.
  * UnityScreen: always paint the lockscreen above, just add menu and
    onboard as exceptions Some code cleanup, factorizing similar code.
    (LP: #1313280)
  * UnityScreen: don't try to show Dash/Hud if the screen is grabbed
    Also move the dash opening out from LauncherController, and get rid
    of UBus as first initialization source, as it can only slow things
    down here. (LP: #741869)
  * PluginAdapter: make sure we don't try to call an invalid
    initiate/terminate callback function (LP: #1221673)
  * DebugDBusInterface: match properties if they are in the AP array
    form [<type>, <value>] (LP: #1307748)

  [ William Hua ]
  * Add proper support for modifier-only shortcuts on the lock screen.
    (LP: #1291461)

  [ Jinkyu Yi ]
  * Dash: Fix problem at checking blacklisted unicode range (LP:
    #1251193)

  [ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * Add a warning in the session dialog if other sessions are still
    open. (LP: #1281058)

Hello KillaW0lf04, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/7.2.1+14.04.20140513-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Just installed the from the proposed repository and made sure that the bug fix was included within the updates.

I restarted my laptop and repeated the same steps stated in the test case.

It seems to be solved in some cases but there are quite a few times where it still occurs for me. In particular I am testing this out on totem in fullscreen with it set to "Always On Top".

I confirm that the bug isn't fixed.

I was able to reproduce it with Google Chrome, Totem and VLC (I didn't test others) fullscreen windows set to "Always on Top" with single monitor.

Sorry, I've just noticed that for some reason this fix has not been included in the SRU package that just landed in unity proposed, so the fact it fails the verification is normal.

Removing the verification-failed/needed since the fix for this bug mistakingly missed getting in the SRU. The next SRU will contain this fix. Sorry about the confusion.

setting as verification-done so the SRU gets validated, we can untag/reopen the bug once it's copied to updates

the SRU got copied, untagging

Packages from trusty-proposed resolve this bug.

I've checked with Totem, VLC, Firefox and Opera-developer. Also the indicators were drawn in lockscreen.
