I agree with the solutions purposed especially changing the delay as it would fix the problem alone and not cause to many side effects.
Currently with a nub you have to make a fast movement to the edge of the screen then reduce the pressure to the left holding the mouse there until the panel opens. It is very counter intuitive that you have to continuously push. It also wears out your finger until you learn to keep pushing but just at a reduced pressure when you hit the edge. Even after you get this down the delay is annoying. With a touch pad mouse the delay and small target make sense. When you swipe to the left the mouse will stop exactly at the edge without need to continuously push. And there are naturally two movements with a delay between them. Your first swipe to hit the left side of the screen and then recenter you finger to make a separate movement to get to your icon. With a nub though the direction change is continuous because you do not need to recenter your finger on the pad. The delay just becomes dead time where you have to hold the pointer against the edge waiting for the launcher to open. And it is nearly impossible to directly hit the edge without continuously pushing on it. I imagine the delay will eventually start to annoy touch pad users at they get better at hitting their target in one swipe to the right spot without needing the second swipe to get to the right part of the launcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773898 Title: launcher does not appear with nub mouse -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
