OK, I think I found out what this is about. Can reliably repeat it now. It's about having multiple monitors. I have three. This problem occurs if I set the launcher placement to be anything other than "All Displays" or the leftmost display.
(Confirmed by swapping displays around in the display prefs; whichever one is spacially positioned leftmost is fine; if the launcher is on (and only on) any other display, this issue occurs.) But I want my launcher in the middle! :-) Situation here is that the middle display is a 27" 2560x1440, and the two on either side are 24" 1920x1080. Having just one launcher on that big middle screen, and pushing new windows from there to the outer displays at need, works well for me, and of course ought to be a supported choice, as the UI lets me do it. ;-) Of course what I really really really want is the launcher on auto-hide along the bottom of every display, but that's not going to happen. :-( Hey, is anyone actually seeing this? I haven't even had a bot come by and ask for more information... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291362 Title: Apps locked to launcher only launch once per session. Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Trusty: An application that has been "locked to launcher", (including those there by default) can only be clicked on once per session to actually launch the application. After that it's unresponsive to clicks, although right-click actions work. Seems to affect all apps, including "Files". To repeat, for any application not already on the launcher bar: Launch the application using the dash. Right-click on its launcher icon and select "Lock to Launcher" Quit the application. Click on its launcher icon. It should launch again. Quit it again. Click on its launcher icon again. It won't work this time. It looks like dragging would work, but its operation as a launcher will not. NB: I haven't installed any hacks eg: click-to-minimise. Seen this on two systems upgraded from saucy to trusty. (One with AMD graphics, one with Intel, so I doubt that's relevant either.)
