Bug Description

I have just updated my Ubuntu 12.04, and the new Unity 5.2 is arrived.
Now I have a problem with the Launcher, that don't shows up anymore when a window is over him (I have the "dodge windows" activated).
Previously (before of Unity 5.2), when the pointer of the mouse is positioned on the left edge of the screen, the Launcher appear almost immediately. Now I don't know how to make it happen again. I have not found a way to display the Launcher with my mouse pointer. I have to summon the Dash with the Super key, so the Launcher is temporarily displayed. Or, I have to move the window away from the Launcher area, so it can be displayed again.

Move the mouse towards the left screen (edge) then move the mouse down – still touching the left edge of your screen.

Thank's for the advice, but I have already tried all the possible mouse movements.
I have moved the mouse quickly, slowly, up and down, but the Launcher is still hidden. And, of course, I move the mouse while I touch the left edge.

This is an intended change. Just press the mouse pointer strongly against the left side and it should do it.
