Thank you for taking your time to report this bug to make Ubuntu better. >From Ubuntu 12.04, the launcher is designed to reveal only when applying pressure (nudge). This is to avoid accidental revealing of the launcher. Previously users in 11.04 and 11.10 accidentally revealed the launcher when they were trying to click on the back button on Firefox which was annoying. To tackle this issue the Unity developer made the launcher to reveal not when the mouse is present on the left edge of the screen but rather when you push against the left screen.
Hence marking this invalid since it is as per design and not a bug. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I do see a shadow (on the left side, only a couple of pixels width). To get the sidebar to appear, I have to move the mouse up and down on that left side. The shadow becomes somewhat larger, and after some movements the sidebar appears. In 11.10, the sidebar directly appears after moving the mouse to the left.
