P: It's hard to rollover the UI to reveal hidden sidebars with mouse

In CS3, that feature was working like a charm but in CS4 and CS5 it became a pain. I used to work with hidden sidebars and in CS3 i could use it very often. But in CS5, I have to use tab or shift+tab shortcut key to show and hide them.

Here is an example. I put the mouse leftmost of the screen as a reflex. But it can't get the black transparent band to show to toolbar.

Note: It's same in Adobe Illustrator, too.

This should be fixed in Photoshop CS6. Let me know if you're still having issues with the rollover hit area.

it's hard to get the gray area. when i move the mouse fast to the left it goes to leftmost even if i don't want.

For me in cs5 i have to put the mouse pointer on dark gray area. If i go all the way to left like in cs3 the panels won't show and even when you get it right, it's not as fast as cs3 was because cs5 takes a split second (seems like a lot longer) where as cs3 seemed to show the panels instantly.

I noticed that it works when I hit F key. But this is another problem because it overlays to taskbar. So I don't want to use it that way.
