Launcher not triggered immediately

[Lina Pug]

When the Application Launcher is in “hide” mode, doesn't quickly reply when one touch the left side with the mouse pointer; it is necessary to move the mouse pointer as if one knock a door. Increasing the sensitivity for a little more than half, it responds more readily but it is still necessary touch it with real intent.

I don't have time to look for the bug numbers or other discussions, but I can tell you this was intentionally added, in 12.04. Triggering the Launcher immediately was causing lots of false positives, when people went for the browser's back button, for one big example.

I gave your bug a specific title. I'm closing it as invalid, too, because the preference is available. You can just crank up the sensitivity if you wish; that's built for this case, right? If you search, you might find the work that went into this of interest. You give a good description of the 'intent' that was carefully engineered here. (Not by me -- I just watched it happen.)

If you really remain unsatisfied, I think there are existing discussions to get involved with. Thanks.

Excuse my fumbling, trying to set the status. My mobile browser isn't quite up to it.
