MacOS – OS X Mavericks – Have to pull mouse down on full-screen app to see dock

dockmacos

Updated to Mavericks yesterday, pretty happy with the speed boost it brought, but I've run into one problem:

Whenever I'm running a full-screen app, for example mail, and I want my dock to show, I really have to pull the mouse down. Just "throwing" it down to the bottom of the screen with a one-finger swipe no longer does the trick; I have to keep my finger on the trackpad to get the dock to show.

I asked a colleague and he noticed the same thing, only in a full-screen app, is there a way to turn this "feature" off, or is this a bug?

This seems to be the new gesture in Mavericks. It used to be that you had to pull the mouse/trackpad down twice in quick succession. Now you just have to hold the mouse/trackpad down at the bottom of the screen. I had not figured this one out before reading your post, so thank you. I have found nothing about this anywhere else. Apparently, this gesture cannot be changed.
