[Bug 54777] Panel applets break auto-hide

[Roshan Shariff]

Public bug reported:

When a context menu is opened on panel applets or notification area
icons, and an option selected, the panel no-longer auto-hides.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set a panel to auto-hide

2a. Start Rhythmbox. Right click on its notification area icon and
select "Play."

2b. Get the update-notifier to show its icon. Right click and select
"Show Updates."

2c. Start Tomboy Notes. Right click on its notification icon and click
on "Preferences," or left-click on it and open a note.

2d. Same as (2c) but with the Tomboy Notes panel applet.

2e. Right click on the Volume Control and select "Open Volume Control."

2f. Right click on the clock and select "Preferences."

2g. Same as above but with the Workspace Switcher

2h. Right click on the Trash applet and select "About."

2g. Right click on the Deskbar applet and select "Preferences."

Expected Result:

The panel auto-hides after completing any of the above.

Observed Result:

The panel does not hide itself until you mouse-over some part of it and
then move the mouse out of the panel again.

Counter-Examples:

This bug does not trigger on the context menus of the Drawer applet or
the Menu Bar
