[Bug 1225774] Re: Launcher randomly stops showing up when you move the mouse to the left of the screen. Randomly clicking on some window's title bar almost always fixes it
13.04 is no longer supported. Is this still a problem on
12.04/14.04/14.10?

Title:
Launcher randomly stops showing up when you move the mouse to the left
of the screen. Randomly clicking on some window's title bar almost
always fixes it
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
At random times, and very, very often (I haven't found out what
triggers it), the Launcher stops showing up. That is, you move the
mouse all the way to the left of the screen and the Launcher doesn't
show up. You retry and retry but it won't show up.
Clicking randomly on some window's titlebar and retrying usually fixes
it. Most of the times, clicking on some other part of a window other
than the title bar won't do the trick. I'm not sure this is always the
case, but I'm under the impression it's necessary to click on a
window's titlebar, or at least that is far far more likely to do the
trick.
This looks to me unrelated to #1225769, but I'm not sure; there may be
some nontrivial relation. What I can say is that the steps described
in 1225769 don't systematically reproduce this one, which is more
random, but I can't tell for example whether or not having used Show
Desktop is a necessary condition to observe this issue.
