Public bug reported:

Similar to #1095854 and #970038 (and quite possibly the same bug?), when
'auto-hide' is enabled, if I try to move my pointer to the left hand of
my first screen(ie where the launcher is), it only comes up sometimes,
and very haphazardly, whereas(and here's the bug:) if I move towards the
right(ie towards the other monitor) it usually gets 'stuck' at the edges
of the two monitors.  Sometimes the pointer is allowed to go through,
and I can 'force' it back to the correct screen by alt-tabbing to a
window on the correct monitor, and then alt-space -> move.

Turning off the launcher auto-hide option makes this symptom disappear
immediately.

Title:
  unity launcher 'auto-hide' gets pointer stuck between screens

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Similar to #1095854 and #970038 (and quite possibly the same bug?),
  when 'auto-hide' is enabled, if I try to move my pointer to the left
  hand of my first screen(ie where the launcher is), it only comes up
  sometimes, and very haphazardly, whereas(and here's the bug:) if I
  move towards the right(ie towards the other monitor) it usually gets
  'stuck' at the edges of the two monitors.  Sometimes the pointer is
  allowed to go through, and I can 'force' it back to the correct screen
  by alt-tabbing to a window on the correct monitor, and then alt-space
  -> move.

  Turning off the launcher auto-hide option makes this symptom disappear
