Bug Description

I'm getting sea sick when navigating down in my filled launcher bar using the keyboard navigation (see screencast).

TEST CASE:
1. With a "filled" launcher bar press Alt+F1 (make sure to move your mouse outside of the launcher bar area to not hit bug 858502)
2. Press the down key

RESULT:
* The launcher items jump up and down.

However, if you move your mouse over the launcher bar (expands the launcher items) and then press the down key, the launcher items don't jump.

Unity r1610.
