** Description changed:
The Alt+F1 Launcher navigation mode has the following problems:
1. Clicking outside of the Launcher when in this modes does not exit this
mode or perform any action.
2. Clicking on a Launcher icon with the pointer after opening the Launcher
using Alt+F1 strands the user in a weird state from which it is very difficult
to exit.
3. It is possible to select different windows using the Launcher with a
pointer in this mode, but then it is impossible to drag them.
4. The Super keyboard shortcut to open the Dash (and other keyboard
shortcuts) to not work in this mode.
+ 5. If you press enter, to launch any element on the quicklist, the
application is launched but you don't exit navigation mode as well.
--------------------------
Desired Resolution:
- When 'Alt+F1' navigation is open, clicking anywhere with the mouse
should preform the normal action the user expects as well as closing
this navigation mode. For example, if a user drags a window, the window
should move and the 'Alt+F1' navigation mode should be exited. As a
second example, if a user has navigated to a quicklist using the
'Alt+F1' navigation mode, clicking on one of the quicklist options using
the pointer should action the item clicked on as well as closing the
quicklist and exiting the 'Alt+F1' navigation mode. If it is not
possible to implement this fix, the 'Alt+F1' feature should be
temporally disabled (to be re-enabled when a fix to this issue is
available).
- Pressing any keyboard shortcut should exit the 'Alt+F1' navigation
mode and perform the keyboard shortcut action the user expects
