Bug Description
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2.
Near 50% of the time when I want to click the "previous page" button in Firefox (or any other web browser, such as Chrome and Opera) Unity Launcher slides out, which causes me to click on Dash or a launcher application, instead of actually clicking the "previous page" button.
This of course only happens when the web browser is maximized. The "previous page" is too close to the edge of the screen which triggers Unity Launcher to come out.
I find this behaviour annoying, as well as other people using my computer. I don't really experience this with other applications, because their controls have a proper padding applied to controls on the left side of the screen.
