Title:
  Launching an application by clicking in dash results is artificially
  slowed down (by 500ms)

Status in Unity:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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

  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.
