Sorry to hear of the problem. I followed the procedure mentioned in my initial post to create my launchers. I "solved" the problem by recreating my whole user profile. But the problem came back in limited forms. But not as bad. I am now largely free of issues and I put that down to software

I think issue is with dash to panel, I checked with dash to dock and it didnt happen: When we click the launcher icon the menu background that displays the apps dont vanish when you reclick the launcher button to hide it. Maybe due to that the things become unresponsive. It just shows a 'X' mark
