Bug Description

Let's get down to business.
Steps to reproduce:
A) Set your launcher to "Autohide"
B) Activate "Expo"
What happens:
The launcher hides itself and makes in impossible to switch windows from it while in Expo mode, not to mention that the gap that's preserved for the launcher is empty and it's a ... well just a black gap and trust me on this, it doesn't look "pretty".
What should happen:
The launcher should be always visible in Expo mode, so one can easily switch the windows from it and the gap should be filled.

Running Unity from trunk, this seems to be fixed. Don't remember encountering it with Unity 5.4 in Precise either, so I'm marking this fixed.

I was experiencing this on Unity 5.20x, but I can confirm what Bilal said: I can't reproduce it in either 5.40 and TRUNK, so I guess it;s fixed :)
