  When the Launcher is suddenly revealed when it's not intended to can
  cause confusion and a poor user experience.

  [ Test Case ]

  1. Turn on launcher auto hide
  2. Display the HUD (tap Alt)
  3. Move the mouse to the left side of the screen (as if you are showing the launcher)
  4. Note the launcher is not displayed
  5. Now hide the HUD (either tap Alt or select the X in the top left corner)
  6. Observe the Launcher is not revealed.

  [ Regression Potential ]

  Original Description:

  Hi

  What Happened:
  1) Turn on launcher auto hide
  2) Display the HUD (tap Alt)
  3) Move the mouse to the left side of the screen (as if you are showing the launcher)
  4) Note the launcher is not displayed
  5) Now hide the HUD (either tap Alt or select the X in the top left corner)
  6) Note that the launcher is now displayed, after the HUD closes.

  What I expected to happen:
  - I expected that the launcher is not displayed at step 6.

  I expected for the launcher to not be displayed at step 6 because the
  user could have the HUD displayed for a long period of time then
  decide that they don't need the HUD. The launcher is then suddenly
  revealed to them as they moved their cursor to the left side of the
  screen a few minutes a ago. This could then confuse the user to why
  the launcher has appeared when all they did was close the HUD.

  Hope this can be fixed soon.

  Andy
