launcher randomly appears and disappears repeatedly when useing autohide

[zeruke]

Binary package hint: unity

as said at random times the launcher starts appears and disappears repeatedly when useing auto hide... sometimes at startup sometimes in the middles of something making it hard to do things because it takes focus at the top....this doesn't cause much problems if you have something maximized.....you can get it to stop by going into CCSM and making the launcher to never hide and then re-enable auto hide, but problems will sometimes presiste with auto hide because you cant get the launcher to be used

i will see about recording some of it once i can find a camera to do so

after awhile of having it with never hide the launcher acts like its hiding but you can still see it and cant click any of the launchers in it unless you click the ubuntu icon to bring up the dash then you can click things that are in the launcher
