Title:
  Apps locked to launcher only launch once per session on dual monitor
  system.

Status in Unity:
  Fix Committed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Users having the Launcher only on a monitor that is not the left-most
  monitor can only open the application once.  This can lead to much
  frustration and a restart of the system in order to open the
  application again using the Launcher.

  [Test Case]

  * Have a multi-monitor setup.
  * Using System Settings, go to Displays.
  * Under General options, click the drop down for Launcher placement and select the right-most monitor.
  * Click an icon to open a application.  Close that application and click the icon again.
  * The application should open again with this fix.

  [Regression Potential]

  None identified.

  Original Description:

  In Trusty:

  On a dual monitor system with the launcher on the right hand screen,
  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.)
