The two-finger scrolling thing got me thinking, so I tried changing the scroll method to edge scrolling, and it stopped happening. The problem, at least on my laptop, appears to be that tapping the touchpad with two fingers produces a right click, which also launches the icon.
Something's changed though, it used to open multiple instances of the same app the instance I scrolled, but now it looks like I can scroll a little over icons, but if I make an effort to scroll multiple times over an icon, it opens the app, making it more evident that the problem is caused by tapping with two fingers. I don't remember updating after the last time I checked if this still happened so I'm not sure what 'fixed' it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837004 Title: Scrolling while highlighting an item in the dash will open the item.
