Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unity
The unity launcher appears every time when dragging something in any application, even if a window is in fullscreen mode. This is sometimes cumbersome in some applications. For instance in Shotwell (fullscreen) when drag & drop photos to a tag. Or in banshee (fullscreen) when drag & drop a song to a playlist. Or in FontManager (fullscreen, https://code.google.com/p/font-manager/) when drag & drop a font to a collection. All these programmes have a sidebar on the left and the unity launcher makes this sidebar less visible. So it is hard to find out where to drop. I know that the appearing of the launcher is a feature to drop something to a programme icon, but in fullscreen mode it would be better if the laucher first appears if the mouse pointer is on the left boarder of the screen or maybe on the top left corner as it is if an application is in fullscreen mode.
