Public bug reported:
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.
