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 <super> to access the launcher, or <alt>+<f1>. -- 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
