Bug Description

# Expected Behavior

Tapping on an app's icon in the dock behaves just like clicking it. As in, clicking the current app shows the open windows in a context menu, and clicking any other app's icon, makes the app current.

# Actual Behavior

CLicking an app's icon just makes it current, and clicking the current app's icon does nothing (unless it's a long-press, then it does what you expect.)

# The Screenshot
I attached a screenshot of the context menu that comes up when clicking the current app's dock icon. This menu doesn't come up when tapping.

This changes the click behavior to only show the open windows context menu (it no longer focuses when you click a non-current app icon).

It doesn't change the behavior when tapped at all. (Tapping it just focuses, it doesn't show the open windows context menu at all.)
