Comment 3 for bug 762926

Considering that this is the main interface that everyone is going to see first when trying to launch apps via Unity, I see this as a serious usability issue and am both concerned and greatly disappointed to see that it has been so quickly wishlisted :( For me personally, this usability issue resulted in replacing Unity with GNOME 3 (plus KDE, LXDE and XFCE for fun) on one of my two Ubuntu 11.04 boxes.

I also just found out that you can supposedly right-click the application lens (or launcher or whatever it is called) to get a category list. This might be seen as an acceptable workaround/implementation, but I never thought to try that because it is unintuitive! I'm also wondering how touchscreen users would access that, although I myself am not one of them.
