[Bug 1291362] [NEW] Apps locked to launcher only launch once per session.

 

Public bug reported:

In Trusty:

An application that has been "locked to launcher", (including those
there by default) can only be clicked on once per session to actually
launch the application. After that it's unresponsive to clicks, although
right-click actions work.

Seems to affect all apps, including "Files".

To repeat, for any application not already on the launcher bar:

Launch the application using the dash.

Right-click on its launcher icon and select "Lock to Launcher"

Quit the application.

Click on its launcher icon. It should launch again.

Quit it again.

Click on its launcher icon again. It won't work this time. It looks like
dragging would work, but its operation as a launcher will not.

NB: I haven't installed any hacks eg: click-to-minimise. Seen this on
two systems upgraded from saucy to trusty. (One with AMD graphics, one
with Intel, so I doubt that's relevant either.)
