Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Using unity 3.6.0 in natty:
* place the mouse cursor against the left side of the screen (I typically do that to put the cursor out of the way when I'm using the keyboard for typing text or something but it can happen if you are not lucky as well)
* go on with you keyboard work (typing some text for example)
* decide to check on the launcher and press super on the keyboard (let's say something just claimed for attention there)

What happens:
* The launcher opens but never goes back to hiding because the mouse cursor is over the launcher

What should happen:
* Since the mouse just happened to be there and was not moved it should go back to hidding and let you go back to work
