Bug Description

Using Unity from experimental ppa.

If timed right (I managed this on first try) you can end up with launcher tooltips showing even without the mouse over them, sometimes multiple launcher tooltips.

Open dash.
Move mouse to first application in launcher, leave it there long enough to trigger the tooltip.
Immediately move down like you're browsing the apps and pull out from the launcher before the first tooltip has gone.

So the move is, super, move mouse to launcher, move down, move back out from launcher quickly, not hard to do if you overshoot the dash to the launcher and pull back out again, covering the space of two launcher icons in the journey.

See screenshots for the effect.

My mouse pointer (although not captured in the screenshots) is nowhere near the icons which have their tooltip out.

I can confirm this outside the experimental ppa. Its all about timing, which suggests a racing condition (my guess is a ubus message).

Actually its a bit more then timing, but should be an easy fix around LauncherIcon.cpp (add bitsize)
