[unity8] launcher menu breaks launch multiple instances
try with terminix or kate (it doesn't matter), launch terminix (without Xmir), right click on the launcher icon to open the menu, click on Terminix from the launcher menu (first entry) see screenshot1 then go to and open a New Window from the icon/menu (see screenshot2). the window gets unfocuss and it doesn't open a new window, but it actually does i think bug hidden somehow, you can see the pips/menu in the launcher showing more instances/windows. try the same with kate
