Bug Description

Release: Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal

While executing the test steps in Canonical/WK1_16072012 -> Ubuntu -> Unity-Manual -> Launcher -> Test Case ID Can-28 :: Version : 1 - UNITY_ Drag Icons to Trash, the following was observed.

When an icon from the launcher was dragged away from the launcher and when it is moved close to Rubbish Bin, the Workspace Switcher icon on the launcher moves 1 space down creating a blank space in between the Workspace Switcher icon on launcher and the icon above it.

While releasing the mouse button in order to drop the icon to the rubbish bin, please note that at the same time the icon of the application being dropped appears in the blank space created above workspace switcher for a very small interval of 1 second or lesser before the space gets closed.

This blank space gets closed after the icon being dragged is dropped to the rubbish bin. The workspace switcher occupies the blank space by moving 1 space up.

Mine was with gedit - when the application was running, it's icon did not appear in the launcher as it normally did. I attempted to drag the icon from the Dash menu to the Launcher, and a blank space was created after seeing just a flash of an icon being present. I repeated the process, and gedit appeared in the Launcher as expected. I am leaving the blank spot in launcher.
