Bug description:
[Test Case]
1. Set the Unity launcher to auto-hide mode.
2. Launch the current Ubuntu Software Center in Precise.
3. Click the down arrow in the toolbar next to the "All Software" button, and
choose the "For Purchase" item.
4. In the list of displayed items for purchase, choose an application (but
*not* a magazine or book) that is free (that is, marked as $0 -- unless you
wish to purchase something).
5. Click the "More Info" button.
6. In the details view for the application, click the "Buy" button.
7. Follow the purchase process. For a $0 item, you will not be prompted for
payment information.
8. Enter the password for the install when prompted.
9: The progress bar activates in Software Center. Note that for purchased
items, it can take a bit of time before the progress bar transitions from
intdeterminate to determinate.
10: At the very *end* of the installation process (when the progress bar has
completed), note that the hidden Unity launcher is exposed, and does not hide
again by itself. NOTE this this is NOT always reproduceable! In this case,
please just verify the fixed version starting at step 12.
11. Use the <super> key to force-hide the Unity launcher.
12. Close Ubuntu Software Center.
13. Update to both the software-center *and* unity packages in
precise-proposed.
14. Repeat steps 1 through 9.
15. This time, at the very *end* of the install process, verify that Unity
launcher is "not" exposed, beside the subtle animation when the purchased
item's icon is added to it.
[Regression Potential]
Risk of regression is very low. Probably the only thing you might watch for
would be an unexpected exception reported. If anything like this occurs, of
course, please note it in the bug.
---
When installing an item from the "For Purchase" section in the Ubuntu
Software Centre, the Unity launcher appears and fails to hide even
though Auto-Hide is selected in the Appearance settings, this stays
like this until you log-out or holding the super key, which resets the
launcher and it goes back to Auto-Hide again.
This only happens for applications in the "For Purchase" section and
does not seem to affect other apps in different categories, I have
uploaded a picture showing the bug.
