Bug#731359: gnome-shell: fullscreen parent windows disappear after closing child windows

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

when using fullscreen windows in gnome-shell (like iceweasel or icedove) if a
child window is created (like the history browser or composing an email) the
prent window disappears when the child window appears and gains focus.

After closing the child window the parent window is not displayed again and the
workspace is left empty. To have the fullscreen window show again it is
necessary to go into overview mode and click on it or Alt+Tab until it appears
again.

I can reproduce this behaviour consistently in Debian testing on a Samsung N150
netbook in all fullscreen apps, whether using the application's own fullscreen
option or Gnome's fullscreen key shortcut.
