(Get the code!)
I too have this problem. What's really happening is that the window becomes invisible, but it still functionally acts as thought it is open. So I'll click, and, say, the calculator will launch. Like the original poster says, a simple ESC fixes it, so launching programs becomes a two-step process - CLICK or ENTER to launch a program, ESC to clear out invisible slingshot.
