Going back from quicklist to launcher in key-nav mode doesn't unfold the launcher

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[ Impact ]

Users the use Launcher keynav mode may end up with a Launcher that is not displayed correctly, leaving a poor user experience.

[ Test Case ]

1. Make sure there are enough icons in the Launcher to cause the Launcher to fold.
2. Press Alt+F1
3. Press right-key
4. Press left-key
5. Observe the Launcher is not folder while still in keynav mode.

[ Regression Potential ]

None observed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Original Description:

1) Press Alt+F1
2) Press right-key
3) Press left-key

Expected result:
3) The launcher goes back to keynav mode and unfolds completely.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.3.2+15.04.20150324.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.3.2+15.04.20150324.1-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * Upstream release 7.3.2.
  * fix AP test failure due to new parameter added to key grabbing (LP:
    #1433648)
  * silenced GCC 5 warnings (LP: #1430784)
  * uses the new upstream .desktop file for D-Bus activated Nautilus
    instances (LP: #1428837)

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * When we quit the quicklist it would check if the mouse was over the
    launcher, if it wasn't it would fold the launcher. We don't need to
    check this if we are in keynav as we want all the icons to be
    unfolded. (LP: #1246891)

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * New rebuild forced.

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Use a 2 second delay before showing the first run shortcut hints to
    workaround a race condition on input handling. (LP: #1313597)

The Launcher icons now stay expanded and are not folded while in keynav mode. Marking verification-done.
