Public bug reported:
When the launcher has more icons than fit the screen, the icons get
accordion-squished. To progressively expand them, one has to move the
pointer to an area on the bottom that is very small. This small area
results in very delicate cursor aiming being required and often leads to
accidentally moving too low and speeding the action up too much.
This is even worse when one wants to expand the launcher up, as the
expand-up area is very close to the global menu and if the cursor
accidentally crosses over to the global menu, the launcher position
resets.
Expected behaviour - the area to progressively expand the lower part of
the launcher should be longer - e.g. 1/4 of the whole launcher height.
Same should be true for expanding the launcher up. This would result in
the speed progression being much more robust, as the cursor has to move
over a larger area to increase the speed.
