[Bug 1447372] Re: Launching an application by clicking in dash results is artificially slowed down (by 500ms)

 

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.3.2+15.10.20150522-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.3.2+15.10.20150522-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * New rebuild forced.

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Add necessary signaling to set the BFB icon's tooltip and the Home
    Scope's default search string to accurately reflect if searching
    online is enabled or disabled in unity-system-settings. (LP:
    #1202160, #1101662)
  * Enable real page up/page down key navigation in the Dash. When using
    these keys the view scrolls the length of the visible view. (LP:
    #913612)
  * If Spread/Expo is active, then terminate it when entering Launcher
    keynav mode. (LP: #1447810)
  * If dragging an application:// uri type from the Dash to the desktop,
    change it to a file:// uri type so Nautilus can understand the type
    a make a copy of it on the desktop. (LP: #1241972)
  * Wait on Spread to be terminated before showing the Quicklist. (LP:
    #1441626)

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * Implement scope bar icon accessibility (LP: #1457073)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * ResultViewGrid: wait for double-click event only if the relative
    result needs the Preview (LP: #1447372, #1291950)

Title:
  Launching an application by clicking in dash results is artificially
  slowed down (by 500ms)

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As per the smart-scopes work and per the fix for lp:1189088, it has
  been introduced a regression that caused unity to wait 500ms after the
  user a clicked over an application icon before activating it.

  Basically unity waits for a possible double click on every dash icon,
  and this slows down the activation of application icons using the
  mouse.

  1) Press Super+A
  2) Click over an application icon to launch it

  Expected result:
  3) The dash closes immediately and the app is launched

  Actual result:
  3) The dash is kept open for 500ms (or slightly more) and finally it launches the
     application

  The same happens in the command scope (that you can see by pressing Alt+F2).
  This makes the unity dash look slower in launching an app.
