Comment 2 for bug 154675

I confirm this bug in Ubuntu 9.10

It doesn't only bother with auto-hidden panels, but also with clicking the items on the panels (menus, launchers, notifications, open applications). Not having the edges of the screen available makes clicking these items slower, as it takes more time to _hit_ them (having the edges available for clicking, one can move the mouse quickly to the edges/corners and click... which is pretty handy).

It's also particularly bothersome that the Edge Flip DnD feature is enabled by default in Ubuntu when selecting Normal visual effects.
