Public bug reported: Similar to #1095854 and #970038 (and quite possibly the same bug?), when 'auto-hide' is enabled, if I try to move my pointer to the left hand of my first screen(ie where the launcher is), it only comes up sometimes, and very haphazardly, whereas(and here's the bug:) if I move towards the right(ie towards the other monitor) it usually gets 'stuck' at the edges of the two monitors. Sometimes the pointer is allowed to go through, and I can 'force' it back to the correct screen by alt-tabbing to a window on the correct monitor, and then alt-space -> move.
Turning off the launcher auto-hide option makes this symptom disappear immediately.
