Comment 22 for bug 931982

This is still a problem on 16.04. The workaround of "pushing" the mouse left past the screen does not work for me.

I'm running Ubuntu as a VM and connecting via VMware Remote Console (VMRC) so I wonder if the mouse movement/position is mapped as moving past the screen. If not, then the autohide feature needs to trigger when the mouse lingers in the most left hand position on the screen.

For now I'll see if I can live with the Alt-F1 workaround.
