[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 971018] Re: Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left side in VirtualBox or VMware
Precise and trusty are no longer supported and have reached end-of-life. Also comment #30 seems to relate to a different desktop environment.

There is a solution for that issue.

This is still happening on 16.10 as expected due to the previous setting of 'Opinion' the only way to work around this issue on VMWare Workstation is to change the setting under Edit->Preferences->Input Optimize mouse for games: Always.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 971018] Re: Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left side in VirtualBox or VMware
This isn't really a bug in Unity. If you turn off mouse pointer integration (under the "Machine" menu) to prevent the host from stealing the focus everything works like a charm. This means that with pointer integration enabled and auto hide turned on when the mouse reaches the edge of the screen Vbox/VMWare decide to give focus to the host, not the guest. There isn't really much Unity can do about that. As a workaround you can use: Don't hide the launcher, disable mouse pointer integration, use to access the launcher, or +. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971018 Title: Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left side in VirtualBox or VMware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/971018/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 971018] Re: Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left side in VirtualBox or VMware
i can confirm the problems reported above on Ubuntu 13.10 for x86_64 with roughly the latest updates via the apt repositorys. its running in virtual box 4.3.2 on a Windows 8.1 host. (telling the host to run it was a bios activation of VMs, the selection of Ubuntu _64_ in the box profile and enabling of some more advanced features of the box.) there are two cases i observed on my own: 1) when running in virtual box with 3D enabled and the mouse integration on then the side-bar never will open on a mouse gesture. 2) when running the same with integration off it works but the mouse pointer has vanished. these are probably two distinct problems rendering either option as not really useable. for my impression case #1 is the more important one as thats the standard way most people will run the box, even if #2 as well is a definite major issue for operating the GUI. _both_ issues shall be fixed! the first might need an option (or automatism = tri states for the option) for changing the side bar opening meachnism behaviour. the second i just dont know as i have no clue for what makes the mouse pointer disappear. BTW - how is auto-hide as an option itsel controlled? cant find it in the settings. (settings are so slim that i had to install and run gnome tweaks to at least beeing able to change font sizes to fit them to my screen dimensions...) but i would need it to work-around and test a bit more. PS: no idea how a 4-finger swipe is defined. Using a simple mouse style laptop touch pad for years and only having activated vertical scroller for it since then. no having that available does again stopping me from testing the mentioned work around. (i tend to not likeing finger acrobatics as the touch here is quite limited in size.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971018 Title: Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left side in VirtualBox or VMware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/971018/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The problem with Virtual Machines appears to be in the way the launcher (when hidden) is displayed on 12.04 and higher. On 12.04, behaviour has changed. We have now to press the pointer out of the screen in order to display it.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 971018] Re: Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left side in VirtualBox or VMware
Hate to just add another comment confirming the above. I have just constructed a new 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit machine, mainly because my attempts to upgrade from my much loved 10.04 LTS were so buggy. The details of my system are as follows Ubuntu 12.04.01 guest Vmware Player 5.0.1 build-894247 Vista Service Pack 2 host Dell Studio XPS 435MT The new 12.04.1 machine works well and responds quicker than 10.04 which is good. However when I switch on autohide for the Launcher, I cannot reveal it again with the mouse. I should add that I have no shadows, just no response at all. The keyboard shortcuts all work perfectly and it will reveal when alt F1 is pressed (or alt for search and the super key for the whole menu). I have installed the CompizConfig Settings Manager and changed all the sensitivity settings with no result. My assumption is that this is a 12.04.1 issue as I had no similar issues with autohide of toolbars or any other mouse behaviour at with edge of the desktop with Vmware in any previous version of Ubuntu. As this bug seems to have affected a number of users for over 8 months, I was just wondering whether anyone was trying to address it.

The way they works is very different: the kubuntu panel as the old unity launcher was using the mouse pointer position, now we use the Xorg Xfixes' pointer barrier feature that probably is not supported by these virtual machines drivers.
