Launcher with autohide and global menu don't align correctly

[Andrew Hayzen]

Hi

What Happened:
1) Turn on the launcher autohide
2) Select the left most menu in the global menu
3) Press hold the super key to display the launcher
4) Note that there is a gap between the edge of the launcher and the edge of the global menu (this doesn't happen when autohide is Off)

What I expected to happen:
- I expected at step 4 for there to be no gap between the edge of the launcher and the edge of the global menu.

Note: I have attached a screenshot showing the issue.

Hope this can be fixed soon.

Andy

I actually believe that's an outline around the unity launcher. its also visible on the desktop as well. see the screenshot

Hi Omer,

Thanks for replying, you could be right with the border or the launcher causing the white line.

However I feel that this is horrible from a design perspective. As the white strip can look horrible if you have a long menu, it could also be easily fixed by starting the menubar a few more pixels to the left. We are looking for a pixel perfect desktop right? :)

Could we consult the design team on how they feel about this?

Many thanks,

Andy
