[Bug 1328561] [NEW] Unity Launcher doesn't hide after coming out of lock-screen

 

Public bug reported:

Folks,

I have set my Unity Launcher to auto hide from the System Settings >
Appearance > Behavior tab. This works perfectly fine, until I lock the
screen and come back to unlock it.

After unlocking the screen, the Unity Launcher will no longer auto hide.
The current workaround is to hold the Super key until the Keyboard
Shortcuts helper pops up, and then let go of it. This resumes auto hide.

Needless to say, locking the screen should not disable auto hide, but
should return the functionality that I had before locking the screen.

As a side effect of auto hide not working after unlocking the screen,
maximised windows do not line up with the Unity Launcher and the window
controls on the top left are partially covered. So even though auto hide
doesn't work and the Launcher stays visible, the borders are not
recognized the same as when auto hide would be turned off in the System
Settings.
