After my last update I am not suffering from this bug. IT used to work
fine. I could use Unity and could be productive. Now, I hate unity and
the launcher. When is a fix due? Ubuntu, you need to pay more attention
to usability and your users

Is this bug about the default sensitivity, or about the launcher not
revealing at all no matter how hard you push? Seems like these are two
different problems. (the former being opinion, the latter being a
serious bug.)
I have the sensitivity set very high so that the launcher reveals very
easily.
Would like to add that a few updates came through and set the "edge stop
velocity" by default to 65. This makes transitioning between multiple
monitors, smoothly, near impossible and extremely annoying. I have set
it back down to 20 which improves the response a lot.

The idea is that you are sustaining a push over a period of time. The

Rick,
The drivers are the primary reason this isn't working for some people.
Some touchpads are scaling inputs incorrectly, resulting in very low
velocity pressures. This should not prevent it from working for these
people, but it does make revealing take a bit more effort than intended.

Having a setting that needs to be tweaked in order for the launcher to
