Bug Description

Fitt's law issues when Unity dock at bottom of screen:

1-Moving cursor to the bottom left corner to try to activate the Ubuntu button does not do anything - same with moving the cursor to the left of the Ubuntu button - nothing happens - violates Fitt's law

2-after pressing the Ubuntu button, the 'X' to get out of the search screen does not have infinite height at the top left corner of the screen - I note it does seem to when the dock is at the left of the screen - but when at the bottom it doesn't - violates Fitt's law

This is with the 16.04 1live cd only. I don't know if the packages were updated to be fixed later.
