It seems to me that the Unity Bar hides, in some circumstances, whenever your mouse isn't exactly on the left edge of the screen. Move your mouse even the slightest bit away from the edge, and the bar will hide within half a second.
The workaround is to keep your pointer glued to the edge of the screen (by drifting your mouse even farther left), and take advantage of the fact that the icon targets (thankfully) extend to the edge of the screen. But this will not be obvious to all users, and I can imagine people trying to click the middle of an icon and ending up playing frustrating reflex games against the UI. A more reasonable behavior would be to hide the dock when the mouse moves off of the dock -- which in fact is its behavior in other situations. I can't tell what causes it to switch behavior; it has changed during the course of me writing this comment and all I've done since then is launched a terminal window and closed it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771389 Title: Unity Launcher hides regardless of mouse position. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
