[Bug 1216898] [NEW] Display switch hotkey/shortcut fn+F8 reveals the Dash

 

Public bug reported:

Everytime I use the keyboard shortcut, or "hotkey", Fn+F8 to change my
display configuration, the dash is summoned (or closed if already
summoned).

Pressing those two keys on their own does nothing.

With no external monitor plugged in, I can:
- Summon or close the dash with a normal Fn+F8 combination
- Reveal the launcher and then the keyboard shortcut overlay by doing Fn+F8 and holding Fn.
