Bug Description

When you use multiple monitors and plank in vertical mode, it can't detect when the mouse pointer is near, so, it doesn't show up.

The problem is explained better in the attachment showing the displays layout i'm using

I'm using plank in vertical mode at the right of the primary screen

Also, in my opinion, if the option exists, then it should be supported, but I understand it's not a priority right now.
