Title:
Auto-hide Unity launcher is transparent to clicks when revealed (you
actually click into the window behind it)
Status in Unity:

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
This has happened only once to me. I guess it's random.
I had Thunderbird open and maximixed. I moved the cursor to the left
of the screen; the dock or panel with application icons appeared. I
clicked on some icons, but the clicks somehow "went through" and
reached Thunderbird behind it, having no effect on the dock.
I switched focus forth and back to different windows and tried again
and the issue persisted. Then I unmaximized and remaximized
thunderbird and the issue disappeared (not sure whether I had to do it
twice, though).
When I had open Thunderbird, the system was a bit slow due to high RAM
usage and paging (but when I observed the issue it wasn't any more),
so it may be a timing issue where the order in which some things are
done is not guaranteed but is usually right (which doesn't make it
less of a bug).
Note this is not a minor issue (though one that apparently manifests
itself with a very small probability). Guaranteeing 100% you-click-on-
what-you-see is absolutely critical.
