I think that this bug report might be misunderstood by developers.

As @spradders said:
I frequently want to raise a window and look at something, then minimise it again. I should be able to do this with a couple of clicks on the launcher. It is expected behaviour.

EXACTLY. But following the reporter's idea will break Unity's current behaviour.

In order to archieve the behaviour that @spradders recommended, Unity should minimize on click ONLY when there's single, focused and raised window under the launcher's icon.

Currently, Unity does absolutely nothing. This is simply wrong and feels broken. When the icon is lit, highlights, it should DO something when clicked. Right now he have basic usability problem.

This bug report says that click should minimize all windows; that's incorrect and this bug should be abandoned, because it breaks Unity's current behaviour. Instead, it should say:

Minimize application on click when there's only one raised and focused window.

This won't break Unity's behaviour (except if Unity developers WANT it to do nothing and make user confused). So anyone, care to submit another bug for this? With statement that says that it's NOT a duplicate of this bug. I think this is main usability issue that leads users to other distros than Ubuntu. Just because they can't simply click-to-minimize for a quick peek.
