I notice that any window brought in front of Firefox also covers Unity. Also the desktop can cover Dash.
I have found 2 ways of stopping the bug once triggered: 1 Quick method if no window has been brought forward since the bug was triggered: * Click on an empty part of the Unity Panel. (Move the mouse to the top-left to check.) 2 Method for any case: * Click on an empty part of the Unity Panel. (If you move the mouse to the top-left to check at this point, the 2 notices below do not apply.) * Press Super+D to show the desktop. * Click on the desktop. * Click on 'Applications' to bring up Dash. (Notice that Dash is covered by the Desktop; only the white arrow head is visible.) * Press Super to close Dash. (Notice the Launcher flicker.) * Press Super+D to revert windows to previous position. Unity is now on top again! This workaround makes the bug less annoying and easier to work with until a fix is available. It may also help Unity/Compiz developers understand and fix the bug. Hope this is useful.
