Comment 2 for bug 745602

May I ask what the rational for this decision was?

It seems very confusing that the mouse can be in the center of the Ubuntu button, yet the launcher refuses to show itself. I just reported Bug #748897 before realising this was considered a feature.

My suggestion to help make this less confusing is either to revert to the old behaviour, or alternatively for the launcher to show if the mouse is *anywhere* over the Ubuntu button for a certain period of time, say half a second?
