Problems with Unity : can't get window to the forefront

Hi everyone,

 

Searching for the best virtualization tool, I of course tried VMWare Fusion and it seems to fit my needs better than it's 2 competitors.

But I am facing one problem with Unity.

 

First of all :

- Host is MacOsX 10.10.2 Yosemite on a MacPro 2 X 2.93Ghz, 40GB or RAM and Radeon HD 5870 and some storage in it (10TB HDD + 1.5TB SSD).

- Guest is Linux Mint with the Mate Desktop (don't like Cinnamon and I find KDE so non ergonomic !) which is in fact nothing more than Ubuntu with a desktop that suits my needs and tastes better...

 

I really like the ability to use "Unity" (where the competitor's function doesn't allow it) because I think it's an elegant way to circumvent Dual-Booting :-)

But I face one problem when I am under Unity...

It works... not a problem. But of course, a window opened from the guest OS can be partially hidden by a Host OS window. Sadly, when I click the Linux (guest OS) window, it does not come to the forefront. I have to move (or close) the Mac window to get access to the Linux window.

 

Is this a known limitation of Unity or a known bug ?

 

Is there a workaround ?


Thanks for your answers.

 

Regards.
