>From your screenshot alone it seems that you have 2 mouse pointers...so
im guessing whats happening is your other input device is over the
launcher causing it to stay up when you click out side the dash. Also
since no one has confirmed this bug for ages Im going to set this as
invalid. If someone else reports this, then we can go from there.

Title:
Launcher: maximised + autohide relies on mouseout to hide
Status in Unity:
Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
See also: bug #684590 ("the application panel stays up with auto hide
after a password dialog") and bug #732438 ("Launcher forgets to
hide/dodge after long uptime").
I've been hitting this bug with the pointer nipple, but hadn't
narrowed down a way of easily reproducing it until I bought a new
stylus for this machine (allowing absolute, finger-like interaction):
1. Click on Distro icon (Dash + Launcher appears)
2. Move pointer outside Launcher and Dash perimeter (Dash disappears,
Launcher pauses and then slides out)
With the mouse or Trackpoint the result is generally full access to
the desktop again.
However, when used with an absolute device (such as a pen, or finger
is lifted and then placed down again before the second click) the Dash
hides but not Launcher stays present. This likely indicates that the
detection code is relying on spotting that the pointer has "crossed
the threshold" via a mouseout or similar single. If it never crosses
the threshold, is warped, or moves fast enough to have been missed,
then the Launcher stays visible.
In the attached screenshot, note that the position of the mouse
pointer; it is well away from being anywhere near the Launcher, yet
the Launcher is still visible even after several seconds.
