Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
With a "nub" mouse getting the launcher to appear by mousing the left of the screen is very difficult. With a nub mouse it is very difficult to stop exactly at the edge of the screen unlike with a normal or touch pad mouse. There is bounce effect that keeps the mouse from staying on the exact edge unless you continuously push the mouse to the edge of the screen or are absurdly accurate.
This may seem minor but it is not took me a couple of minutes to actually get the launcher to appear the first time. Now I have to basically continuously push on the edge to get the launcher to open. By adding even a tiny error margin this would be fixed.
I am using a leveno laptop
proposed solution:
* remove delay before appearance
* trigger appearance also on hovering over the leftmost 2-5 pixel (e.g. ~10% of icon width?)

FYI you can also un-hide the launcher immediately by moving mouse to top-left corner of the screen. I am used to doing that, and I don't rely on pressing against the edge.
