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.
Thanks

Title:
Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Ubuntu Precise 12.04 Beta 2 AMD64 DVD:
I am running Ubuntu Precise 12.04 Beta 2 in a VirtualBox 4.1.8 session.
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.
