3 clicks within double click timeout results in 2 instances launched

This might not apply to firefox, since the launcher is already in the panel, and average users generally wouldnt add another one to the desktop.

But able to reproduce this bug with Openoffice.

@poofyyoda: Kindly identify the projects affected and assign the bug to those projects *also* , otherwise the devs of the concerned project might not be notified of this problem. For more about finding the right package> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.

This bug is universal within nautilus, which means any launcher within nautilus is affected.

The firefox example was just a test case to enable the bug to be demonstrated easily, since some apps can launch so fast, it could be difficult to click 3 times - such as nautilus file browser.

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream.
Once submitted upstream , do report back here with the upstream bug number.
Thanks in advance!
