Public bug reported:

I already asked about this in Launchpad Question #256474, but with no
answer.

If I single-click on an Ubuntu Unity Launcher Tile, I expect that to
launch the application.

It only does so if I can click-&-release extremely rapidly (less than
one tenth of a second - who can measure?).

At my normal click-&-release timing, the action is interpreted as
click-&-hold, so the Tile just wobbles (preliminary to being moved
in/from the Launcher) and the application is NOT launched.

For personal reasons, I am not able to click-&-release any faster.
There must be many other people (older, handicapped, etc) in the same situation.

We need to be able to reset the threshold between click-&-release and click-&-hold to get satisfactory functionality with Unity.
In the same way everybody can already reset the timing for double-click to suit their equipment & physiology.

The same problem occurs with Window Menus in Unity (with Menus on
Windows) where a slowish single click fails to open the Menu & is
interpreted as a desire to move the Window.

For information, MS Windows 8.1 works perfectly for me, with the same
hardware...
