Comments #7 and #9 are describing a different bug related to using keyboard on window spread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1386714
This bug occurs for me when I disabled and re-enabled window spread in Unity Tweak Tool. I could solve the problem in a strange way: 1. selected Restore Settings of window spread on Unity Tweak Tool; 2. disabled and re-enabled the window spread on Unity Tweak Tool; Suddenly Ubuntu Unity Plugin got disabled and I lost window decorations and indicators. 3. I opened a Terminal, enter `ccsm` to open CompizConfig Settings Manager; 4. noticed "Gnome Compatibility" and "Window Decorations" are enabled, both of which conflict with Unity Plugin; 5. enabled Unity Plugin and resolve conflicts with those two. Now I can use window spread without problem except the type-to-search which I've described in lp: 1386714. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316265 Title: Maximized Window's Title Bar Does Not Merge into Menu Bar after Performing Super+W (window spread) filtering Status in Unity: In Progress Status in Unity 7.2 series: In Progress Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: A maximized application's title bar does not merge into the menu bar once a user has performed Super + W (window slide). Note that if one does not do Super+E, then the bars to merge together. However, once Super+E has been performed, this bug persists for the lifetime of the windowed application. If the application is restarted after doing Super+E, then the bug is gone. Thus, it seems like Super+E introduces this bug for the lifetime of the windowed application. Expected behavior: Maximized window's title bar is merged into menu bar. Observed: Does not occur after Super+W is performed. Try this out using Terminal.
