[Bug 1087813] [NEW] Unity registers tap as press for launcher reveal

 

Public bug reported:

I've read both bug 964238 and bug 963470.  It would appear that my
experience is similar to both instances, although the mechanics behind
this issue may be different.

Item the First:  I have disabled the display of the launcher shortcut overlay.
Item the Second:  I have set “Hide Launcher” to “Autohide”, and “Reveal Trigger” to “Left Edge”.
Item the Third:  I have set the launcher hotkey to <Menu> (sorry, but I've long been used to <Super> shortcuts, and using <Super> for the launcher reveal cramps my style).

The problem is intermittent, but annoying.  When it decides to reveal
its ugly head, I will tap <Menu>, and the launcher will reveal with the
keyboard shortcuts overlain.  The dash will not open.  The launcher then
hides after a moment.  If I mouse to the left edge to trigger the
reveal, the shortcuts still show.

While these numbers are showing, /even when the launcher is hidden/,
pressing any of the launcher shortcut keys (/without/ <Menu>) results in
the shortcut activating.  To make the shortcuts go away, I have to
/press and hold/ <Menu>.  Sometimes, upon release, the dash will come
up, sometimes not.

I've started to come to like the dash.  I'm running 12.04 64-bit desktop
on a production workstation.  Unity version is 5.18.0.  Compiz version
is 0.9.7.9.  I'm afraid I don't know how to retrieve the Unity plugin
version.
