Bug Description

When pressing Alt+F1, the Launcher gets the keyboard focus and the user can move through it with the arrow keys. Following the merge of this branch

 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity/trunk/revision/2470

in Unity , the following behavior occurs:
  * Alt+F1 activate the key navigation focus in the Launcher
  * Moving up/down, the Launcher rendering is not updated accordingly. The focused launcher item is not visible. You can't distinguish it from other items.
  * Moving the right arrow keys open the quicklist of the focused item but key navigation up/down does not work in the quicklist.

Note that you should minimize all windows before attempting to reproduce the problem. When other parts of the desktop are being rendered, the problem is less visible.
