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 Service Pack 2 host Dell Studio XPS 435MT The new 12.04.1 machine works well and responds quicker than 10.04 which is good. However when I switch on autohide for the Launcher, I cannot reveal it again with the mouse. I should add that I have no shadows, just no response at all. The keyboard shortcuts all work perfectly and it will reveal when "alt F1" is pressed (or <alt> for search and the <super> key for the whole menu). I have installed the CompizConfig Settings Manager and changed all the sensitivity settings with no result. My assumption is that this is a 12.04.1 issue as I had no similar issues with autohide of toolbars or any other mouse behaviour at with edge of the desktop with Vmware in any previous version of Ubuntu. As this bug seems to have affected a number of users for over 8 months, I was just wondering whether anyone was trying to address it.

VirtualBox Guest Additions have been installed via "jockey-gtk" from the Ubuntu Precise repository, and Unity is running in 3D mode with Compiz. When the Unity Launcher is set to "autohide," the Launcher will never reveal when the mouse pointer is moved to the left edge of the screen. It does not matter how much "pressure" is applied; the Launcher never appears. I have tried the following VirtualBox window "form-factors," all with the same result (the Launcher never appears): -- VirtualBox session running in a non-maximized window -- VirtualBox session running in a maximized window -- VirtualBox session running full-screen I have attached a screen capture (OGV) with Ubuntu Precise running in a maximized VirtualBox window.
