[Bug 939427] Re: [Launcher] Impossible to reveal the launcher with a stylus on a Wacom tablet

 

** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
       Status: Triaged => Fix Committed

** Description changed:

  When i run my Lenovo X200 Tablet in tablet mode, i can't reveal the
  launcher as it is not possible to push the mouse arrow with a stylus
  against the edge of the screen as needed by the new reveal behavior.
  
  I'm running precise with unity 5.4.0.
+ 
+ ---------------------------------------------
+ Desired design:
+ 
+ We should be able to detect when a stylus device is attached and change Launcher behaviour accordingly. To show a hidden launcher:
+ - mouse: edge push
+ - touch: edge gesture
+ - stylus: edge hover
+ 
+ Hover timeout should be relatively short (I'd start with 150 ms) so that
+ it doesn't unnecessary and annoying delay to user's flow.
+ 
+ Launcher should slide back behind the screen edge as soon as the cursor
+ is moved off the launcher area.
