When I open up dash home, click on "more apps" and then try to scroll, it seems like random applications are automatically launching. I noticed that this only happens when you try to scroll sideways by holding the middle mouse button, then moving the thumbstick (red joystick thing) to the side. Scrolling up and down works fine. Sometimes when an app launches due to this "side scrolling," it will launch multiple times i.e. you have to close1-5 instances that opened up at once. Steps to reproduce: 1) open up dash home 2) click on "More Apps" 3) move mouse cursor over an app icon 4) hold down the middle mouse button (on the T420 laptop), and while holding the middle moues button, move the thinkpads thumbstick either left or right 5) the application will launc with 1 or 1+ instances What I expected to happen: since you can't scroll left or right, I expected nothing to happen.
