View Full Version : [SOLVED] App switcher and app search appears under other windows

I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and use it with Unity. When I press alt-tab I get the app switcher, but it appears *under* all my open windows which makes it rather useless.

The same problem happens with the screen you get when you click the ubuntu icon at the top of the Unity dock to the left of the screen (the one where you can search for programs that are installed and start them). This also appears *under* open windows, rendering it useless.

How do I fix this?
