Title:
  Unity Launcher reveal does not work

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

Bug description:
  Setting the Unity Launcher auto-hide feature causes the launcher
  sidebar not to pop-up after the second attempt.

  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  To duplicate:

  1. Set Launcher Behaviour to Auto-Hide the launcher.

  (The launcher disapears)

  2. Move the mouse to the left edge of the screen.

  (The launcher makes an anemic pop-up attempt, just the shaddow appears
  on the far left edge and disapears after a second).

  3. Type on some window for a few seconds (like entering this bug
  report) and then move the cursor to the far left edge.

  (The launcher appears correctly)

  4. Move the cursor off the launcher (the launcher disapears) then move
  the cursor back to the Left edge of the screen again.

  (The launcher again makes the anemic pop-ip attempt - no launcher
  appears).

  It seems that there is some sort of timing issue. If I dont try to get
  to the launcher for a little while it will pop up. If I try repeatedly
  it does not work,

  The behaviour must be that the launcher does not fail to pop-up
  whenever the cursor moves to the left edge.

  The behaviour should be (suggestion) that the launcher does not fail
  to pop-up whenever the cursor moves to the left edge and sits there
  for a time out period (1 second) and the focussed window is maximized,
  in order to stop the launcher popping up when the intent is to select
  something on the left of the window and the cursor unintentionally
  brushes the left edge.

  
  (Note to QA Management): With the focus on quality, how did a bug like this get to release? Just curious, keep up the good work.

  (Note to Ubuntu / Canonical team): FANTASTIC WORK! I love what you do!
