Hi All,
I hope you gurus can help me. I just upgraded to 11.10 and I noticed that the sidebar doesn't work properly. Right after logging in if I launch Chrome or Eclipse, the sidebar hides and if the applications are maximized the sidebar doesn't pop up when I hover on the left.
If I startup Firefox however, it does work normally: sidebar shows itself if I hover at the left edge of the sreen, hides when moving away.
Also sometimes when I click on the home folder button, my desktop is cleaned out (i.e. none of my desktop icons are visible) and nautilus doesn't start up.
This is very annoying behavior. I usually have to click around on the sidebar on either the unity search thingie (don't know what it's called, top left ubuntu logo on the sidebar) or something else and then it works fine.
I also noticed that none of this is happening when running unity 2D.
I have ATI drivers, not sure if this matters.
Anybody have any clues as to what is wrong? Should I just stick with Unity 2D? Could it be my compiz settings left over from the previous 11.04 install?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
