[Bug 970038] Re: Launcher do not want to appear

 

I can reproduce it 90% of the times using the attached html file in both Chrome and Firefox (just one pre tag with enough text to show the horizontal scrollbar).
In my case, scrolling it to the right and all the way back to the left, so that the mouse pointer is in the panel's area, cause unity panel to fail to reveal.

As I also found out, it doesn't have to be a web browser - text editor
like GEdit will result in the same behavior, when a line is long enough
to reveal the horizontal scrollbar.

  Launcher do not want to appear

Bug description:
  All time testing new U 12.04 I have the same problem.

  After enabling the "Auto-hide the Launcher" I have problem to reach
  that Launcher appears again.

  I move the pointer lo left, but just the margin of screen gets darker
  - thats all.

  I have to repeat moving pointer right - left many times (sometimes 4x,
  sometimes >> 15x) before I get finally Launcher visible again. To let
  pointer at border longer don't help.

  I have Intel's G840 CPU with Sandy HD graphic (if it matters).

  I hope, it will be corrected before final release.

  Thanks  --kapetr
