Cannot click in small square area of screen

[Iain Buclaw]

Binary package hint: unity

Raising bug against Unity until I know more about it. But essentially there is an area of the screen which is inaccessible to the cursor from clicking actions. Which can get rather disrupting when a lot of your activity seems to reside in that area. Attaching image to give you an idea of where.

Regards

For clarification, the area coloured black is a visual representation, and not what I can actually see.

thanks for your bug report, I can't find it again right now, but this is a duplicate. The issue is known upstream and will be fixed in next release.

oh btw, you can bring the dash and hide it to workaround the issue for now :)
