Every time I use Drag&Drop (even with Bookmarks in Firefox or songs in Banshee) the unity side bar apears and often blocks the place where I want to drop it. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: There is only one option for the launcher ( wether it appears when touching the side or the corner) but it doesn't solve the problem.

This will now mean you will not see the launcher until you move the mouse pointer to the top left.
I hope this helps
