Title:
  Slow Single Click Fails to Work

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  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...
