Hi everyone

I upgraded the unity package using "sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install
unity" (with trusty-proposed source enabled) and restarted the system.
The fix passes TEST CASE mentioned. The bug is now fixed! Thank you.
Here is the version details of unity:

Enigma:~$ sudo apt-cache policy unity

Title:
  Unity launcher auto hide fails on screen unlock using "Super+L"

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The launcher is not properly auto-hidden when locking the screen using Super+L keybinding

  [Test case]
  1. From Unity Control Center -> Appearance -> Behavior enable the launcher auto-hiding
  2. Press Super+L in order to lock the screen
  3. Unlock the screen, now the launcher should be hidden

  [Regression potential]
  Unity might hang when locking the screen (due to the sync compiz call to screen->getCurrentTime() that in some very-rare cases in the past demonstrated to be prone to some race conditions). No case has been recorded so far in this scenario, though.

  -----

  I use a Compaq cq40 running Trusty. If I lock the screen using the
  "Super+L" hotkey, upon unlocking the unity launcher bar appears on the
  screen. I'll have to press "Super" key twice to hide it again (Hitting
  once brings up the dash home, hitting once again hides the launcher).
  This is not observed if use the "Ctrl+Alt+L" hotkey. The following are
  the system details:

  Auto hide is enabled for unity launcher. Is there a way to resolve
  this annoying behaviour? Thanks!
