Bug Description

I have a bug with incorrect work with icons on the Unity launcher.

How to repeat:

1. Run any application that does not have an icon on the panel (in my case it is Calc) .
2. Move the new icon of opened application up, say, the fourth position.
3. Close the application.
4. Non-active icon should be remaining on the launcher, and still can be removed manually from it, but it is not normal behaviour.

Then what can happen - if you open and close a new files using, for ex. Nautilus, for few times (6-7 times) new windows will be attached to the icon, but then it begins to create a second, identical icon. (see screenshot #1)

And now buggy icon can't be removed, it can only be "attached" or I can run the application from there. To remove new icons I need to reboot PC or Unity.

You can repeat in cycles, that's the beauty of what I get: see screenshot #2 .
