Precise and trusty are no longer supported and have reached end-of-life.
Also comment #30 seems to relate to a different desktop environment.
Anyone still experiencing problems should open a new bug.

There is a solution for that issue. You need to run the following to
change the settings:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock require-pressure-
to-show false
I tested it at Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS guest on VMware workstation. I think
it may apply to Virtualbox case as well.

I've found that setting:
- Reveal location: Left side
- Reveal sensitivity: Highest
works pretty good. Sometimes you'll have to move the cursor twice to the
side/bottom though.

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. Disabling "Automatically grab and
ungrab the mouse cursor."

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

I want to add that this problematic behavior exists with Parallels

the same issue occurs with a touchscreen. The pressure to reveal the
launcher equals a mouse movement over the screen-edge but this is
impossible with a touchscreen or (vm window) of the some size as the
screen. There should be an option to reveal the launcher by just hitting
the edge - like the
The touchscreen gesture for revealing a hidden launcher is a 4-finger
swipe. It's been available and documented since at least 12.04 Using a
single-finger edge swipe is not physically possible with a touchscreen
on a large selection of hardware or in windowed virtual machines.

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.
Which is a problem when mouse integration is active in the virtual
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
Just wanted to add that I too have this bug however I have one thing extra that
is not apparent in the video above. When I click the option in settings to
enable Autohide the bar disappears but leaves a background behind.
I have added a screenshot of this. As you can see when I drag a window

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.
So I think the issue should be fixed at xorg level, more
