[Bug 1231679] [NEW] Launcher not auto hiding after clicking on an icon

 

Public bug reported:

To reproduce, make sure your launcher is set to autohide.

1) Open an application such as gedit
2) Move to a different workspace then gedit
3) Click on the gedit icon
4) While the viewport is changing move the mouse outside of the launcher.

Expected:
  The launcher after a normal amount of time, hides.

Result:
  The launcher stays open until we move the mouse back in then out.


The problem is while the viewport is moving compiz has a grab on the mouse. So the launcher never gets the MouseLeave event. So the launcher still thinks the mouse is inside the launcher.
