Public bug reported:
I want to open a new instance of a program (VirtualBox) from the
launcher, which is already registered as running because I have to
virtual machines open. Normally I would just middle click, but due to
bug #771716 this is impossible.
Two things should happen here:
#1: Bug #771716 is serious UI breakage at the ground level and should have been
fixed two releases ago. Heck, it's probably only a two minute job for someone
who knows what they're doing.
#2: There needs to be some redundancy, for example a right click option to open
a new instance of any running program. Full functionality shouldn't depend on
the particular pointing device the person is using.
