I also hope it is a bug, not a feature. Because now we always need one mouse click more + some cursor moving, just to launch an application !

Like Gnome, always more and more clicks, that's not usable ; and for some apps that I run every day but do not put on Unity dock (no more place and just a few minutes of use), I don't need to see every time the description, I know it.

Moreover, that's why we have several mouse buttons, no ? The previous behavior was : right click showed the preview, left one directly started the app.

Now it's too long : I used to type the first letters of the program, then used Enter key if icon was on the left, or left button to select my soft and immediately run it, I'm loosing some time with this new rule...

At least, if Ubuntu dev want to keep this configuration, please for common users put the option not only in dconf (which is unknown for most) but clearly in the System settings - Apparence.
