12.04 buttons on left do not hide

If you make a fresh user, is it the same there?

You can go to system settings->appearance->behaviour and change this.

well tried both new user and the behaviour no change

SOunds like a bug then

New user? You need settings->appearance->behaviour Please alter this and tell us EXACTLY what you are seeing and what you are doing. There is not a bug in that area, and the behaviour you get is what was expected.

When I turn the hide on it hides but I am not able to bring back out when I move the mouse to the left..I have aborted the system and have gone back to version 11.10

Dennis, in 12.04 the behavior of the buttons on the left (launcher) was upgraded to one in which first you take your mouse to the left of the screen (you will see a shadow) and then you push further to the left. This was changed to avoid false positives, e.g. the buttons popping up when you are trying to reach Firefox's back button.

If you think the default sensitivity is too high, you can lower it in settings>appearance>behavior>sensitivity and you will have the same behavior as in 11.10.
