Shortcut overlay cannot be closed by clicking the close button in 14.04

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Please reconsider adding a higher priority to this bug. The shortcut overlay is the very first thing users will see on their new ubuntu desktop. Having this broken or not super-polished leaves a very bad first impression ("if not even this works, what can I expect from the rest of the system?").

I agree with Ro's comment above. The priority should be raised. This bug is the VERY FIRST thing you see when installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.3.2+15.04.20150324.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.3.2+15.04.20150324.1-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * Upstream release 7.3.2.
  * fix AP test failure due to new parameter added to key grabbing (LP:
    #1433648)
  * silenced GCC 5 warnings (LP: #1430784)
  * uses the new upstream .desktop file for D-Bus activated Nautilus
    instances (LP: #1428837)

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * When we quit the quicklist it would check if the mouse was over the
    launcher, if it wasn't it would fold the launcher. We don't need to
    check this if we are in keynav as we want all the icons to be
    unfolded. (LP: #1246891)

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * New rebuild forced.

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Use a 2 second delay before showing the first run shortcut hints to
    workaround a race condition on input handling. (LP: #1313597)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * GnomeKeyGrabber: add timestamp support to accelerators (LP:
    #1433648)
