I don't think that's true. The Avengers is a special set of people that can 
create high priority bugs on latest devel images. However, we welcome anyone 
creating regular bugs.

I think this one is known and will be fixed soon. There's a branch with the 
fix waiting to land.

This will change soon. There's a branch in the queue which converts the Dash 
to use the new header and the search button will then be bigger.

Also this should be solved with the new branch.

This is by design. You can still reveal the dash with the Ubuntu button on the 
Launcher while in spread mode. However, this behavior will change again a 
little a bit soon.

There is a known issue with accidentally activating edge gestures when tapping 
close to the screen edge. The fix is planned, but requires some other work to 
be finished first.

Can you please file bugs in Launchpad for the things where there isn't a 
fixing branch yet? It's not really easy to track the issues in here and most 
likely not all affected people even see it in here.

Thanks,
Michael
