Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, and again on the development build of 13.04,
when you set the Unity launcher to auto-hide, it has a very inconsistent
tendency to reappear.

It seems to only want to return if you quickly slam your cursor against
the left side of the screen, as when you slowly move your cursor to the
left side it just sits there. Likewise, if you slowly move it to the
left side and you keep applying slow-pressure to "hopefully" get the
launcher to return, all that happens is a flickering of shadow along the
left edge as if it is trying to return but is stuck.

Another thing I have found is that you have to slide the mouse cursor
"through" the left side, rather than just to the left side. If you stop
the cursor right at the left side without applying "through-force", it
will not appear.

I dont know if the code requires a certain amount of force or speed to
get the launcher to re-show, but it is very un-fluid. It would be nice
if work was done to make the re-emmerging of the launcher fluid and
consistently perfect.
