Launcher tooltips keeps hanging on Desktop

[Rainer Rohde]

Sorry for the awkward phrasing, but I am not 100% sure that they are called - when you dwell with your mouse pointer over the Launcher icons, they produce a descriptive bubble as to what the respective icon does.

With the new Unity 7, they often times continue to float on the desktop, even after the launcher is no longer in focus.

See attached screenshot.
