Bug Description

Sometimes I'll use the Launcher to start Google Chrome, a Terminal, and Emacs. I've set my Launcher to auto-hide, but it sometimes stays on screen, on top of my windows.

As a workaround, I've disabled auto-hide.

Ubuntu 14.04.

I have the same issue. I upgraded unity yesterday to the latest release "sudo apt-get upgrade unity" however it is still not fixed. This issue has been effecting me for at least 6 months, around every 4 hours of use the luncher gets stuck. It doesn't always correspond to lockerng either.

As I have a small screen disabling auto-hide is not a very useful work around.
