I noticed something weird. Enabling workspaces(System Settings -> Appearance -> Behaviour -> Enable Workspaces) seems to solve the issue. I have a dual monitor setup and when on of them is playing a fullscreen video, I can do anything on the other monitor without the unity bar overlaying the video.
