Description pmargeti34 2021-01-29 16:34:16 UTC 
SUMMARY
Fitts' law indicates that the most quickly accessed targets on any computer display are the four corners of the screen. Applications launchers {kickoff, kicker...} on plasma panel can't be activated by clicking in the (bottom left) corner of the screen (unless panel size is set to 24px or less). This seems like a design oversight and forces the user to aim the mouse at the app launcher icon.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Point mouse at the bottom left corner 
2. Click
3. ?

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
Kickoff opens
