This bug is not at all "only a small cosmetic detail" to those who care.

If you look for something in an Autohide panel you obviously have to place the 
cursor in  it.
Doing so at the bottom of the screen, you get a tooltip hiding the place where 
you have to look.
Not only does it it make using the panel very inconvenient, but it also looks 
stupid.
And with a application windows list in that place, that's stupid a lot because 
you often have to constantly move the mouse to unhide the windows you're 
looking for.

I personally also spend much -- and that's almost all -- of my free time for 
the sake of Ubuntu.
As a consequence, I hate it when the people I help find something stupid in it.
And I'm very surprised that those who would implement Accessibility features 
are prevented to be told that what they would like a magnifying glass to look 
at is in fact hidden behind a tooltip.

And I was kidding about Windows placing the tooltip behind the panel ...

Thanks to all who cooperate.
