Respect Fitt's Law

[galeski]

When stretched (a'la ubuntu 18.04+ dock), the application launcher button should respect Fitt's Law.

Currently it doesn't fire when cursor is in the lowest left-down 1x1 px zone.

How is this related to Fitts' Law? This is entirely unrelated to the time of movement to, the distance to or size of the button.

Anyway, I can open the application drawer when moving to the bottom-left corner and click.

I think I understand what @rezadril means, eg. you should be able to quickly whip your cursor towards the launcher and open it without much thought, but right now you kinda have to aim it precisely as the button doesn't span the entire corner.
Is this mockup what you intended @rezadril? Sorry for the terrible resolution.

This works with the default dash panel in Ubuntu 18.04. I can activate the application overview when moving the mouse to the most bottom left corner and click.

But I see now that this has changed in Ubuntu 20.04. You cannot show the application overview anymore when clicking the bottom left corner.

@rezadril Are you sure this is an issue with the extension and not the original dash in GNOME Shell?

Ah, it works in 18.04 I see. I have only used the 3.36 dock so thought @rezadril's issue was the same one in 20.04 right now.

Yes, this issue is only present in 20.04
