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

 

I can confirm the same behaviour.  The "super" key method works fine.
My launcher is set to reveal when the mouse goes to the top left corner
but it does not behave that way on the external monitor configured to
the right of the laptop monitor.

The behaviour appears to be top left of the entire display area rather
than "per monitor": switching the external monitor to be left of the
laptop monitor allows the launcher to reveal as expected on the external
monitor but not on the laptop monitor.

WM_CLASS for the launcher is "not found" as shown by "xprop WM_CLASS"
and clicking on the launcher bar; presuming "unity" package.

System:
Lenovo Z580 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz

Ubuntu:
12.04.4 LTS

Kernel:
Linux 3.8.0-35-generic #50~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 4 17:25:51 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

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.
