Bug Description

With the launcher in autohide mode I can not unhide it by pushing on the edge of the screen unless I set the reveal pressure to two or below. Effectively turning off the push to reveal feature. At that setting all you need to do is touch the edge to have it show up.

It seems to work quite fine for me and also the slider is there for a reason i.e. if on some systems the edge reveal doesn't act reactive you can change the sensitivty.

PS: you are supposed to push the edge for the launcher to appear this is something that was change this cycle.

I know about the push feature. what I'm saying is for me, (on two computers, one has a touchpad so its even worse.) unless the sensitivity is turned way up it doesn't work well at all. And with the sensitivity that high, push is pretty much negated. This does not seem to effect the corner reveal mode and is new since dodge was removed.
