Bug Description

Currently when user performs a long left edge swipe the currently open application slides away and dash is revealed from underneath and launcher disappear with horizontal movement (animated) behind the left edge. This feels a bit disturbing since everything else is moving towards right (app, finger) and launcher counter-movement to left feels wrong.

Desired solution:

Animate launcher disappearance in place with opacity animation. After the launcher opacity as animated to 0 it should be placed back to left behind the screen edge to wait for the next left edge swipe.

duration: UbuntuAnimation.FastDuration
easing: UbuntuAnimation.StandardEasing
