[Bug 1541388] [NEW] Icons in launcher sometimes refuse to launch application

 

Public bug reported:

After OTA-9 on BQ Aquaris E4.5 I am sometimes experiencing strange
behavior of icons on the launcher, sometimes they refuse to launch the
application and nothing helps except reboot, launching the application
from the Apps scope works however, removing the icon from the launcher,
launching from scope and then pinning the icon to the launcher does
nothing, when you tap the newly added icon application does not launch,
only reboot helps.

This happened with File Manager, Browser and Gallery, generally after
they froze/crashed. Other applications launch normally. I checked
/var/crash after Gallery froze today (then I closed it and tried to
relaunch it with the icon in the launcher), but nothing inside from
today, last log there is from 31.1 it seems.

Unity logs.

Any other logs I can check? Upload older crash files?
