Yes, it autohides. I corrected the bug description: The workspace switcher does not switch to the application of the clicked launcher icon but to the currently active workspace.
** Description changed: - During workspace switching, the user sees an overview of ~4 workspaces side by side to the launcher. When clicking a launcher icon (application) instead of a workspace, it switches to the workspace next to the launcher icon, as is the sensitive area of the workspaces extends to the area of the launcher. - The misbehavior is especially then obvious when the application of the launcher icon is not on the workspace next to it. + During workspace switching, the user sees an overview of ~4 workspaces side by side to the launcher.

Expected behavior: Since the launcher is not grayed out, the launcher icons should work as normal and switch to the workspace and focus their corresponding application.
