Launcher doesn't reveal when set to autohide

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Using a twinview setup with nvidia drivers.

The unity launcher fails to unhide when pressing against the left of the screen on the left monitor.

FYI, The right monitor hides and unhides properly. If I set autohide to off, both launchers appear correctly. In addition, the super key works properly on each monitor.

Does this happen every time, or only at particular moments?

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

@Bilal, yes this is happening all the time. The left monitor launcher never appears when autohide is set to true.

[Jason Smith (jassmith)]

This is fixed in latest Xorg in precise

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

I can confirm it is working now after upgrading today in precise.. Sounds like this can be closed.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

yep its fixed but in xorg so I'll mark this one invalid.
