Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

you are using unity-2d :)

Hi I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce. This is a pretty fundamental behaviour. Is it still occurring?

It went away for a while but came back after last nights updates. I am
using an ATI card which some one suggested may be the issue.

Double clicking apps in the Dash has no effect, if I drag the same app to
the LaunchBar and double click (without closing the Dash) it launches
straight away.

Unfortunately I am at work and away from my machine, will have another look
and supply more info tonight.

Thanks,
Dan
