Confiming the issue persists in 14.10. I was able to reproduce the issue as well as locate a testing method for making the bad behavior "work" which could be helpful for further troubleshooting. I posted this as #13 here; https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/936310/comments/13 I hope this helps!

It does this by reacting to AT-SPI focus messages. Unity Dash's search box seems like prime candidate to unhide Onboard, but currently there are no at-spi messages triggered when opening dash. It would be great if dash search could be at-enabled.
