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

 

** Description changed:

  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
+ 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.
