When launching an application, Unity doesn't bring that new application to foreground; instead the launcher and the dash remains in the foreground

[David]

Steps to reproduce:
- Set the launcher to auto-hide using System Settings -> Appearance -> Behaviour -> Auto-hide the Launcher
- Press the Windows key to open the launcher
- Right-click on one of the applications in the launcher and left-click on one of the menu items to open a new window (e.g. for Terminal, left-click "New Terminal"; for gedit, left-click "Open a New Window")

Current behaviour:
- The new window is created, but the launcher and the dash remains in the foreground

Expected behaviour:
- The new window is created, and focus is switched to it, by the launcher and dash disappearing.

Thank you for reporting this bug to make ubuntu better. I notice that the launcher and the dash remains in the foreground while the application is created in the background. Marking confirmed.
