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 than in unity. ** Changed in: compiz Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Also affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: libxfixes (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libxfixes (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity Importance: Undecided => High ** No longer affects: compiz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
