Launcher auto-hide does not work properly when a menu is visible

[Fredrik Haikarainen]

I have activated the auto-hide option for the launcher. Whenever some sort of menu is visible, and you show the launcher by moving your mouse to the left, it automatically hides itself again after a second.

Menues I've opened that trigger the problem:
- Rightclicking the desktop
- Open a menu from one of the icons in the systemtray
- Open a menu by rightclicking in google-chrome
- Open a menu in the applicationbar of any application

How to reproduce:
1. Enable autohide in System Settings > Appearance > Behaviour
2. Get a menu open using any of the methods above
3. Move the mouse to the left until the launcher opens and hold it there for 5 seconds

Expected results: The launcher will stay visible as long as the mouse is hovering inside the launcher area, and hide when you move it outside of the launcher area.

Actual results: The launcher shows up for about a second and then autohides again.

It happens with every menu. I've been having this problem for a long time and I wanted to report it. Thanks!
Tested in Wily.

I feel it is important to mention that the calendar (systemtray) also causes this.
