Bug Description

If I open the dash with the <super> key with the laucher set to auto-hide the dash will stay put and will not close.

An example from that is while having the Unity launcher to auto-hide, pressing <super>, going over the trash bin, right-clicking and selecting empty trash bin will make the pop up window, asking if you want to empty it or cancel, behind the dash.

Same for Nautiuls quicklist and others. If I open a quicklist item should not the dash close and reveal the window of what I selected?

NEEDS DESIGN: Whether the dash should close right when a quicklist is opened, or when a quicklist item is clicked, or when a quicklist item that opens up a window is clicked.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Desired solution:

- When the Dash is open, clicking on any quicklist item should automatically close the Dash (and of course the selected quicklist item should be actioned)

We actually need feedback on the design team on whether the dash should close right when a quicklist is opened, or when a quicklist item is selected, or when a quicklist item that opens up a window is selected.
