HUD mouseover selection broken

[Sebastien Bacher]

Using the current unity-team release's ppa (candidate for quantal ff) and compiz gles:

- focus an application
- tap alt to open the hud
- type something
- try to pick an item in the list with the mouse

the mouse doesn't select items on mouseover not activate them by clicking, it works with the keyboard though

I can reproduce this here, more specifically in my case I can select the first option with the mouse but not the rest.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

If you click outside(to the right) the label of an entry, the item is activated.

The issue is also present in 12.04 (ot a regression then) so medium is fine for the priority.

[Tim Penhey (thumper)]

Removed gles tag. Confirmed what Omer said, also broken in precise.

    - Expand a PlacesGroup if it is the only category that contains results
      (LP: #950710)
    - Update unity autopilot tests to match autopilot API

      cancelled (LP: #955561)
    - LauncherDragWindow: cancel drag on window mapped/unmapped

      (LP: #1046352)
    - UnityWindow: scale window code improved (LP: #1033935)
    - The mouse will now cause the HUD buttons to change selection
      (LP: #1042692)
    - "Alt+Space" shortcut to reveal the window menu is not hardcoded, but a
       Compiz key option. " (Hold)" should also be translated. Made all
       Compiz plug-in names and all Compiz plug-in option names in
       unityshell.cpp static constants.
    - remove unity --reset, it's not anymore really needed now that we are
      in stable days of unity and we moved to gsettings
    - Removed the variables 'oldPrev' and 'oldNext' which got assigned the
      value NULL, but then were never used
    - Fixed the size of the previews to 770x380 pixels. (LP: #1045243)
    - UnityWindow: use smart pointers, use static close_icon (with dynamic
      state) and PanelStyle context (LP: #1033935) (LP: #1045127)
      (LP: #1046124) (LP: #1046126)
    - Remove everything in the #ifndef USE_MODERN_COMPIZ_GL ifdefs and remove
      the ifdefs alltogether. unity now requires compiz...
