I have the same problem. If the launcher is set to auto-hide, it's
impossible to open it with a touchscreen (on Unity 7, Ubuntu 14.10).

I would expect that sliding the finger from the outside of the left edge
of screen to the inside causes the launcher to open. For consistency,
the exact behaviour should probably be similar to the launcher on a
Ubuntu phone.

Title:
  Launcher cannot be reached in 'auto-hide' mode with Touchscreen

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

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.04, 3.8.0-24-generic

  When launcher is in 'auto-hide' mode, it appears to be inaccessible
  when solely using Touchscreen input to slide, or even tap, the
  farthest edge of the screen (whether left, or top-left is selected).

  I've adjusted the sensitivity all the way down to the Highest, but it
  still does not appear.  Instead, it appears to hold focus on whatever
  application is currently on top.  In the situation where no apps are
  open/near the hotspot, it is assumed I am either simply tapping the
  desktop, or attempting to drag-highlight a group selection instead.

  It should be noted that the cursor appears on the far edge, as I would
  expect typical mouse behavior to emulate bringing the Launcher into
  view.
