Bug Description
unfolding completely makes it one of the hardest launchers/docks to switch apps with a mouse, because it hides many of the other icons (this affects smaller screens the most, which unity has been designed in it's majority to be optimizing for).
when hovering the mouse on the launcher, the user is only interested in a small area, so he/she expects that only the icons in and near that area should be the ones unfolding and becoming more visible.
This would the launcher more accessible, specially when is in auto-hide mode.
