Title:
  Launcher icons go into 'move position' mode too quickly

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 3D, Ubuntu 12.04 clean install  then fully updated.

  I mouse click on a Launcher icon to start an app, say firefox whatever, and the app does not start as I expect it should. 
  I mouse click on the icon very quickly, with a very brief click, and the app starts as I expect

  I wondered what was wrong - I sometimes noticed the icon make a small
  movement, and thought at first that I was not simply clicking but
  maybe also moving. But not so, my mouse skills are good and my
  dexterity is good. What seems to be happening is that I am not
  releasing the click fast enough. Even though for me, the mouse click I
  normally use is quite fast, the launcher icon still has long enough to
  often behave as if I was holding the click down in order to move icon
  position. Which I am not, I just want to start the app and it often
  does not start.

  Adjustment of the 'Settings, mouse, double click speed' do not seem to make any difference. 
  I would guess that the speed of click required for Launcher app start event seems to (intuitively) be aproximately 75 milliseconds  or maybe less. Anything longer than that does not start the app(!) but only enables icon move.

  This short time is on the lower limit (or below the limit) of my own
  comfortable mouse use. I need it to be nominally twice as long, if not
  adjustable(?)

  If there is a file to edit please let me know?

  I am beginning to ignore click start of icons but to use right click
  on the icon,  and menu, which is less optimal.
