[Bug 1268167] Re: No Autohide Launcher Bar Mouse Reveal on Secondary Monitor

 

Hi.
Yes I have the same problem (or a close variant) which I've only just discovered having plugged in my second screen for the first time in a month or so.  I'm  running 12.04 LTS 32-bit on an Acer Aspire 5741 with 4 x Intel® Core™ i3 CPU M 330 @ 2.13GHz. I run all Ubuntu updates as they become available.

Previously I was able to reveal my (normally hidden) Unity launcher in
both screens by  taking the mouse to the left of the screen, but this is
currently only working in my secondary (top) screen.  I am however able
to make the laucher appear on either screen (wherever the mouse is) by
holding down the 'super' key.  My display set-up is as per attached
screenshot.

Title:
  No Autohide Launcher Bar Mouse Reveal on Secondary Monitor

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since several updates performed on 1/8/2014, I am no longer able to
  reveal the launcher bar on my secondary (right) display with the mouse
  auto-reveal function.  Under display settings, both monitors are set
  to display a launcher bar.  Auto reveal works fine with the mouse on
  the primary (left) monitor.  The sticky edge works fine with the
  secondary (right) monitor, but no auto reveal for the launcher bar.  I
  can bring up the secondary (right) monitor launcher bar with the super
  key and alt+f1.

  So far I've reverted to Nvidia 3.04 drivers from 3.19 by purging from
  terminal and re-installing to no avail, and now back to 3.19 and it's
  still not working.

  Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
  32-bit
  AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
  Nvidia GT630 PCIe
  2GB RAM

  Any outputs you'd like from me, please let me know.
