Public bug reported:
Situation:
- launcher hidden (default)
- app 1 has two instances open
- app 2 has focus
Use case:
- user tries to switch to one of the two instances of app 1
- user reveals the laucher by pushing the mouse cursor to the left: the
launcher unhides
- user clicks on the icon of app 1: the first instance of app 1 is focused;
user does *not* move the mouse
- in an eye wink, the user sees that there are multiple instances (indicated by
multiple arrows)
- just when then user wants to click again to use expose, the launcher hides
again
- trying to get expose, the user clicks (again), but because the launcher is
hidden, this is taken as an app click
- .... so the user has to unreveal the launcher, etc.
This can this be solved in several ways:
1. longer time-out before the launcher hides again (1 - 2 seconds?)
2. do not hide the launcher until the mouse cursor is moved away; this is the
way it works in unity-2d where there is no problem using expose
3. always use expose in case of multiple instances
