[Bug 936310] Re: Some applications don't 'auto-show' onboard

[mattgyver83]

After a bit more testing I nailed down some more specifics of the issue
I am noting including reproduction steps and I found a consistent method
to "make it work" however it just continues to break.  Hopefully helpful
for identifying and resolving the issue.

Reproduction:
1.  Start onboard with "Force on top" and "Auto-show while editing".
2.  Open Dash.
3.  Type in dash, onboard does not appear

Results:
Onboard opens but moving the mouse hides onboard it and never returns on search box selection.

Expected action:
Opening Dash and selecting search field should open onboard.

Potentialy helpfulfor troubeshooting to mimic "working" behavior sporadically:
1.  Quit Onboard
2.  Repeat reproduction steps 1-3
2a.  Start onboard with "Force on top" and "Auto-show while editing".
2b.  Open Dash.
2c.  Type in dash, onboard does not appear
3.  Open Gedit
4.  Select inside gedit window, onboard appears
5.  Click free area of Desktop, onboard hides.
6.  Open Hud (left alt on physical keyboard), Onboard appears and is functional inside hud.
7.  ESC hud
8.  Click free area of desktop
8.  Open Dash, onboard appears and is functional.

While this "works" its sporadic and the bad behavior returns after
switching between other applications/normal use.
