I have Ubuntu 14.04 running on Oracle Virtual Box. Window Manager in Ubuntu is compiz. The issue I am facing is when I am playing a media file in VLC or any other media player the window is overlaying any other window (say terminal, firefox, etc.) and is not letting them come to the fore when I switch between windows. Even if I minimize the the VLC player it won't let other windows come to the fore.
I know this was an issue in metacity but do not know the same issue exists in compiz as well. Is there any solution to this issue?

Tools > Preferences > Videos > Accelerated video output(Overlay) uncheck this Accelerated video output(VLC will try to use it by default).\n mark the answer correct if it solves your problem.thankyou
