** Description changed: On a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04, Unity 5.10.0-0ubuntu6, if I switch my display settings from non-mirrored to mirrored, the launcher vanishes. Note that I have the launcher "auto-hide" setting disabled, so it should always be visible. + [Test Case] Steps to reproduce: * Open System Settings -> Displays. - * Ensure "Mirror displays" checkbox is unchecked, a resolution common to both monitors is selected, and launcher placement is set to "All displays"; if this was not previously true, click "Apply" and "Keep these settings". - * Check "Mirror displays" checkbox, and click "Apply". + * Make sure the launcher is only allowed to be shown on the external monitor. + * Check "Mirror displays" checkbox. + * Click "Apply". * Unity launcher vanishes. The only way I've found to restore it is to switch back to non-mirrored mode. Other applications are affected by the switch to mirrored mode. If a window is maximized prior to the mirroring, often it will take up a narrow vertical strip (maybe 20 pixels wide) on the right side of the screen - de-maximizing restores restores it to a window, but re- maximizing restores it to the narrow vertical strip.
