I found the problem... the update somehow changed my accessability settings. The fix is to go the "Universal Access" and disable the "Sticky Keys".
So the bug seems to be in the accessability settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

A second tap opens the launcher. <escape> Removes the launcher or the shorcuts overlay, but leaves the sidebar unhidden with the numbers on the application icons. What I expect to see: When I tap the <super> key the launcher should appear. NOTE: <super>f and <super>a still bring up files and applicatations as expected. NOTE: this but does not occur for Guest accounts.
