App drawer doesn't dismiss upon clicking the launcher in Unity8 zesty

[kevin gunn]

unsure if this is by design, but it doesn't "feel correct"

on unity8(deb) zesty, installed the chrome-test snap
launched chrome test along with terminal, hid chrome behind terminal
moused over to reveal app drawer, selected chrome, which gained focus - but app drawer was still covering

was able to repeat with unity-system-settings icon on launcher, u-s-s launched but drawer remained open.

agree, this doesn't seem right

[kevin gunn (kgunn72)]

i fell for this again today, u-s-s is the right size to be "hidden" under the drawer

Same for the BFB. I expect it to close the app drawer but it doesn't.
