Binary package hint: unity
When the launcher is set to "Show launcher with mouse on left of screen" (the new default), then clicking on the left edge of a screen doesn't bring focus on a maxmised app.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Ensure launcher is set to "Show launcher with mouse on left of screen" and "Dodge windows" (not dodge active windows)
2) Open Firefox, make sure its maximized.
3) Open GNOME Terminal, make sure it isn't maximized, and move it near the right edge of the screen so that there's some space between the terminal and the left edge of screen. The launcher should be hidden now.
4) Move the mouse pointer to the *extreme* left edge of screen and click.
What should happen:
Firefox should get selected. e.g. if you click on the far left edge *before* the launcher appears the window you are clicking on should be brought into focus. However as soon as the Launcher starts to slide out the focus should switche to the Launcher (as happens currently)
What happens:
Firefox doesn't get selected, and if the pointer isn't moved away, the launcher un-hides.

so if i am understand this correctly, you're clicking when the launcher is still hidden, at the spot where a launcher /would be/ on the very edge, and expect it to launch the app?
i'm going to pass this to ayatana-design, but i would highly advise a wontfix.
