[Bug 1334998] [NEW] When using Super+L keys autohide not working properly

 

Public bug reported:

When using the super+l keys to lock the screen, the unity panel gets
stuck. This happens whenever the user first clicks on the super key and
then the L key.  Clicking simutaniously works as expected.

The issue was also reported on Ask Ubuntu:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/459585/launcher-auto-hide-not-working-
ubuntu-14-04/469732?noredirect=1#comment652314_469732

There is a workaround (the user has to double tap the super key)
however, this is one of those papercuts that gets rather annoying over
time.

I would expect the system to be a little more tolerant in terms of the
sequnce of keys pressed. If I first click on the super key and then the
L key, the panel will not be locked when I log back in.
