Bug Description
If you touch an icon on the dock using a touch screen, the dock performs duplicate actions for a single touch event.
1. Touching the app-grid icon on the dock with your finger causes the "applications dash" to appear, and quickly disappear, as if you had left-clicked on the app-grid icon *twice* using a mouse button.
2. Touching any favorites icon on the dock with your finger causes the selected application to open *two* instances, as if you had left-clicked on the app-grid icon twice using a mouse button.
THIS ONLY AFFECTS UBUNTU-DOCK
-------
This only happens when using the touch screen to interact with the dock. Using a mouse or track-pad works as expected.
The top-bar behaves as expected, as well, when using the touch screen. For example, touching the Activities label ovens the "dash overview" as expected; touching the notifications area on the top bar opens the notifications/
Interacting with open applications using the touch screen also works as expected. Applications respond to touch events as if a single event was generated.
UBUNTU DOCK
-----------
Only the ubuntu-dock acts as if it received two (or more) touch events for each single touch action.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------
Ubuntu dock should respond as if it received a single click event, for each single touch event.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-------
If I touch the "Action" item at the top left of the desk-top, the overview appears. THEN, if I touch an icon in the dock, it behaves correctly.
