I don't know why this expired. There's no additional information I can
provide and it could take ages until the day i will find a reproducible
pattern.
It should be easier to review the code that controls the behavior of the
launcher, and write it in such way that will ensure it will never, ever
get sticky.

Title:
Launcher got sticky and won't hide
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Launcher has suddenly stopped hiding and showing automatically, it got
"sticky" (i.e. always visible).
I'm pretty sure it will start working fine at the next reboot (or even just
logout/in).
I think it is related to the following:
- I opened Firefox by clicking on its launcher icon
- Firefox somehow hanged;
-I couldn't move neither Firefox's window nor other windows (e.g. Chrome),
however I could switch among tabs within Fifefox and within Chrome
- no program would respond to keyboard input, but mouse input seemed to work
- I closed Firefox by right-clicking on its launcher icon and selecting "quit"
=> then everything went back to normal, except that the Launcher now
won't hide.
This may or not have been triggered by a bug in Firefox, but in both
cases there's a bug in Launcher if it can, under any circumstance,
"leak" its status or whatever determines its capacity to hide and
show.
