This is probably caused by using virtual box, in that the launcher in
12.04 behaves based on how hard you push it open. In your case that's
causing the pointer to leave the window. I'd probably just recommend
leaving it open. You can adjust that setting and also the reveal
sensitivity in the "Appearance" control panel on the "Behavior" tab.
