[Bug 1235063] Re: Unity launcher autohide doesn't work under VirtualBox

 

The launcher doesn't hide but otherwise it runs. Only the autohide
function is affected. When I hover the mouse over to the edge, it
doesn't unhide, regardless of the amount of "pressure" I apply. This is
running on a desktop, no touchscreen is involved.

To reproduce, install VirtualBox on a desktop, full screen the VM on a
given screen (I occasionally use two) and move your mouse to the unity
autohide edge or corner. Regardless of how you approach it, Unity
Launcher won't appear. Launcher will be revealed when an application
starts or the hotkey is pressed.  This might be a VirtualBox edge
detection/capture issue but renders Unity autohide useless inside
VirtualBox.
