Bug Description
On my Acer Aspire One D255E, when the autohide is set to the Launcher, it does not appear when I move the mouse on the left edge of the screen. I must hit <super> key to see it, but even after that, it stays hidden all the time, does not reveal when moving the mouse. Please help. On a small netbook screen, autohide is very important, I say.
Thanks

Does this happen only when you have at least one window maximised? If so, you are experiencing bug #832150. There is already a fix in oneiric-proposed, which should soon make it's way to -updates. If you want to have the fix before then, see https:/
It happens even right after the start-up, with an empty desktop.
I have noticed that after several starts of the dash with the <super> key, the launcher starts to autohide itself.
Could that help?
Thanks

thanks for the bug report. is that still an issue for you in Ubuntu 11.10 with all updates applied?
The autohide option does not work properly on my system. The launcher does not appear when mouse is eiither on the left side nor on the upper left corner.
This happens at all reveal sensitivity settings from the system settings-
This happens on a 12.04 X86 installation both as virtualbox Guest in Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 processor and Intel integrated graphics controller (82G33/G31 [8086:29c2] (rev 10))Host system, and as a test installation on a 8GB USB pendrive on that same system.
I can reproduce that anytime, just by setting launcher to autohide mode.
In both cases (virtualbox and test installation) Unity version is 5.4.0 and all updates are installed.
