Peggey alredy gave an answer for that in a separate mail, it's in the setting manager.

This is actually related. To be able to detect when the mouse reaches a screen edge reliably, the window manager manitains a 1 pix wide invisible window at each side of the screen. 

These windows prevent the taskbar or the panel to actually receive the events when the mouse reaches the screen edge...

By disabling the switch workspace when the pointer reaches a screen edge,the window manager will not use the tiny invisible windows and autohide will work as expected.
