Bug Description

Clicking on the application button (with a mouse) in the Ubuntu Dock causes the applications icons to be displayed.

ISSUE

On a Touch Screen...

The issue is, if you touch the application button in the Ubuntu Dock, the applications icons appear (expand out from the button using animation) but then they suddenly disappear (contract back into the button using animation).

If you touch the button and do not remove your finger, all of the icons are displayed on the screen. As soon as you remove your finger, the icons recede back into the button.

EXPECTED

Touching the application button (with a finger) in the Ubuntu Dock should cause the applications icons to be displayed. They should continue to be displayed until the user selects an application,
 presses the ESC key, or clicks an icon on the dock.
