Hi, Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help anymore: My trusty installation that I keep for testing purposes has not been showing the bug anymore for some time. It may be due to it running a unity version from 20141212 and/or a newer version of Onboard from the Onboard PPA.
So I disabled the security, recommended, proposed, backports and Onboard PPA sources in order to replicate the bug; but I was only able to replicate it partially: in fact, Onboard looked after the downgrade as if it was covered by Dash, but a click on it restored its look by making it look as if it is above Dash. (If I remember correctly, in the original bug description, Onboard behaved as if it was above Dash, but looked all the time as if it was below Dash.) Afterwards, I enabled the sources again, apart the Onboard PPA, and installed all the updates. The problem disappeared again, but it probably cannot count, as I was not able to replicate the exact original bug.

[ Test Case ] 1. Install and start the on-screen keyboard Onboard. 2. Open the Dash. 3. Ensure you can interact with Onboard as you would expect. [ Regression Potential ] None observed.

In fact, Onboard is shown in dash, as if it was located under dash. It is particularly visible, when the dash is maximized and covers the whole screen. However, if I drag Onboard to position it under an icon in dash and I click on the icon, the corresponding application is not started; the click goes down to Onboard, which types the letter of the Onboard key placed at the position of the click. So, in a few words: dash draws Onboard as if it was covered by dash, but Onboard behaves as if it is located over dash. Having a vivid backup from about one month ago, we were able to determine that the regression seem to have happened because of the update of libunity-core and the related packages somewhere between one month ago and today. In fact, the problem appeared in the test after updating the following packages and versions to the version shipping currently in the repositories. libunity-core-6.0-9 7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1 libcairo-gobject2 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1 libcairo-script-interpreter2 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1 libcairo2 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1 libcairo2-dev 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1 unity 7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1 unity-schemas 7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1 unity-services 7.3.1+15.04.20141128-0ubuntu1 Cheers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1413165/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
