Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
We have an OS X app using the Kiosk Mode as speicified in https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/KioskMode/Introduction/Introduction.html and we discovered one can "leave" the app with the LaunchPad key on the keyboard.

Steps to reproduce

I need people to confirm me this is fixed in 10.9 though not in 10.8 (I don't have a 10.8 anymore right now)

  • Create a new Cocoa App
  • Run, press the Launchpad key, Launchpad should open :)
  • Go in - [AppDelegate applicationDidFinishLaunching:]
  • Add: [NSApp setPresentationOptions:NSApplicationPresentationAutoHideDock|NSApplicationPresentationDisableProcessSwitching];
  • Run, press the Launchpad key:
  • On 10.9 it shouldn't open (it's fixed then)
  • On previous OS X, it opens (the bug)
