Bug Description
When you move the mouse to the far left, the launcher side pane opens immediately. This causes issues when trying to activate a UI element in an application on the far left, e.g.:
1/ the back button in firefox;
2/ selecting some text or a hyperlink.
This would be miles better if there was a slight delay in opening the side pane.

"This would be miles better if there was a slight delay in opening the side pane"
If launcher delays, there will be 100 bugs reported immediately on "Why launcher delays?" So it's better option to somehow scale the window to the right when the launcher activates, or move the "critical" buttons to the right where icons ends.
