Bug Description

Ubuntu Mate 17.04, Plank 0.11.3-2

80% of the time Plank works as expected: there is a small indicator under icons of opened programs; clicking on them takes me to last windows of said programs.

But sometimes indicators are absent (often on startup), and clicking on an icon launches a new instance of a program, even if already open.

I've attached a small video showing the issue for better understanding.
