Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 21.10 and earlier, the dock treated the edge of the screen as
a hotspot for its app buttons. In 22.04, that has changed. Moving the
cursor to the edge of the screen no longer triggers a hotspot on the
closest app button. This reduces usability in my opinion, as switching
apps via dock icons now requires more precise cursor movement. Pretty
much every other control in gnome shell (activities, clock /
notifications, keyboard layout select, system menu in top right) can be
activated with the cursor at the edge of the screen.
This is on a machine that was just upgraded to 22.04 from 20.10.
