Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce this problem:
1. Click on the Ubuntu Dock to open any application e.g. Nautilus.
2. A window with the contents of this application appears.
3. Click the (-) hide button of the window. The window hides from the desktop.
4. Click the "Show Applications" button of the Ubuntu Dock.
5. After the list of available applications appears click the same button
again. The system returns back to the desktop view.
6. Notice that the previously hidden window now appears as open on the desktop.
However, it is only rendered and it is not functional. One cannot click on this
window to hide it again, move it to another location or use the application
associated with it. The only way to return to normal is to click the icon of
this application on the Ubuntu Dock and in this case the window opens properly
i.e. it is rendered again but this time it can be used.
Expected behaviour:
After step (5) one should return to the desktop with the window of the
opened application still hidden.
Note that if several applications have been opened and their windows
hidden then after operation (5) all previously hidden windows are now
rendered on the desktop but they are not functional, as described above.
