Bug Description
Test Case:
On a laptop with a touchscreen, login and tap the "Show Applications" button at the bottom of the dock to open the list of applications.
Actual result
The list of applications opens and closes immediately because you actually have to hold you finger down to keep it open and as soon as you release it closes
Expected Result
The user tap the "Show applications" button in the dock and the list of applications shows up. It's difficult to have to hold a function to keep it open on a touch screen because you only have 2 hands and it keeps one busy just to keep the thing open then you have to use the other one to select the action you want to perform. note that sometimes the list of applications stays opened but it is not clear which action keeps it open (Long hold maybe?)
