Keyboard navigation should jump invisible icons

[Andrea Azzarone]

When I activate the launcher keyboard navigation sometimes no icon is highlighted. This is because even the invisible icons are considered.

[Marco Biscaro (marcobiscaro2112)]

What are the invisible icons? I mean, technically (I can confirm that some invisible icons exist, but what are they?).

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

I have shown it with a simple loop while for testing: one is the icon for compiz and another one have no tooltip. But you have the same problem?

[Marco Biscaro (marcobiscaro2112)]

Yes. Exactly the same thing. If I press the right arrow on the icon without tooltip, the quicklist is shown. If I choose "Close", unity is killed (so, one of the invisble icons is compiz and the another one should be some unity's component).

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

It is not a duplicate becuase the invisble icons are not only to the top or bottom!

[Alex Launi (alexlauni)]

The real bug is that Unity is showing itself on the launcher.

[Alex Launi (alexlauni)]

What do you do to get the 'invisible' icons?

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

"The real bug is that Unity is showing itself on the launcher."
There are also other icons that are invisible, for example Compiz!

I have already made a patch and a propose of marging. We can skip an icon if GetQuirk (LauncherIcon::QUIRK_VISIBLE) is false ;)

[Marco Biscaro (marcobiscaro2112)]

I think that these invisible icons should not be in launcher, because it
can generate problems in other cases too (and in all of these places we
must to have a verification to confirm that the icon is visible).

Maybe we should create a blacklist of programs (that shouldn't ever
appear on launcher).

The invisible icons are needed AFAIK for placeholders and such, so we will ways some.
