After setting up Ubuntu 11.04, Wine and Warcraft III on my new ThinkPad I encountered some issues with Unity. First of all the Unity launcher's auto-hide feature prevented me from scrolling in-game using the mouse (or at the very least, from scrolling left). Furthermore, Unity's use the F10 key as a shortcut stopped the menu in-game (which also utilizes F10) from working. After a bit of Googling and playing around, I discovered solutions to both problems.
Fixing the left side
This issue is caused by the Unity launcher's auto-hide feature, which is activated by moving the mouse to the left-side of the screen. This issue persists even after auto-hide is disabled in CompizConfig Settings Manager. This issue can be solved by removing Reveal Mode. https://azov.tv/ This is the option that decides which screen area will auto-hide.
Be aware that disabling the Reveal Mode will mean that you cannot toggle the Unity launcher by moving the mouse to the left side of the screen. It is still possible to toggle it by moving your mouse to the top-left corner. However, you may find it easier just to disable auto-hide.
1. Install the CompizConfig Settings Manager sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager 2. Open CompizConfig Settings Manager ccsm 3. Under the 'Desktop' tab open the Ubuntu Unity Plugin' 4. Click on the 'Reveal Mode' button and a dialog box will pop up with a green bar on the left to prevent it from turning off auto-hide, then click OK. The 'Reveal Mode' should now say 'None'. 5. You're done. Start an on-screen game like Warcraft III and try scrolling using the left side of the screen to confirm.
Fixing F10
Unity defaults to use F10 as a shortcut to the File menu of any app currently in focus. It is possible to disable it by using the CompizConfig Settings Manager.
1. Follow the steps 1-3 above. 2. Click on the Key to open the first panel menu' button. It should read 'F10. Uncheck the checkbox 'Enabled' and then press OK. You're done. To confirm, press F10.
