Thank you for your bug report. That ticket is quite old and we didn't
get recent report of the problem, also it seems to work correctly now,
closing. Feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce in more recent
versions

Title:
  [Regression] Launcher - Locking an executable to the launcher makes it
  change position, doesn't launch the app and is lost at restart

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  WHAT I DID:

  I downloaded Zotero standalone from this page: http://www.zotero.org/support/3.0#zotero_standalone
  After opening the app via its executable, I locked it to the launcher by right-clicking on its icon and selecting "lock to launcher".

  WHAT HAPPENED:
  The icon was effectively locked to the launcher but jumped several positions upwards (random number).
  After closing the app, it wasn't possible to open it again from the launcher (icon pulses but nothing happens).
  Opening the app again from the original file would add a second identical icon to the launcher.
  After restarting the computer, the icon was lost.

  WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:
  The icon should be locked to the launcher at its actual position; it should be able to use it to open the app again; and it should stay locked to it even when the computer restarts.

  I marked this as a regression as this wasn't a problem at all in
  12.04: the icon would stay at its place, was able to launch the app,
  and was still in the launcher at restart.
