This is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with Ubuntu.
Throwing away a perfectly sane feature just to add an unwanted and
unnecessary extra way of doing something is just demented.

It just gets more and more unusable.

In 14.04 holding ALT activates something else and does NOT allow
scrolling the launcher.  If I knew the shortcut to bring up the screen
of shortcuts I could probably tell you (discoverable much?).  Is it
Search?

Title:
  Launcher - Mouse wheel and touchpad two finger/edge scrolling doesn't
  permit navigating through icons anymore

Status in Ayatana Design:

Status in Unity:

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10 and earlier, two finger scrolling with the cursor over
  the Launcher allowed to move the column of icons and reach those below
  the bottom edge of the screen. It was especially useful on smaller
  screens (like my 13.3" laptop) with multiple apps in the Launcher
  (running or pinned).

  Now, two finger scrolling with the cursor over the Launcher does
  nothing. Except when precisely over the icon which is associated with
  more than one window (two or more windows of the same application) in
  the same virtual desktop when it allows to switch between those
  windows.

  Is there a switch/setting to change this behaviour?

  ----------------
  Desired solution:

  - The 'window switching using the mouse wheel when the cursor is over
  a Launcher icon' should only be triggered by the mouse wheel, and
  should not be triggered by a two-finger trackpad gesture.

  - Performing a two finger scroll gesture on a trackpad when the cursor
  is over the Launcher should move the Launcher vertically.
