Public bug reported:
Honestly I have no idea which package this is in and I could not
identify it by following the wiki page for identifying packages. I had
no luck with the ubuntu-bug command either. Feel free to migrate at your
discretion.
The Activities menu/button at the top left in the desktop menu(?) bar
seems to listen to left-mouse-up instead of a full click with the mouse.
If I want to e.g. select all my files on the desktop by click-and-
dragging a selection box and then end the selection at the top left of
the screen I will then also activate the Activities button if I release
the mouse button over it.
I expect most button-like UI controls to only trigger on complete mouse
clicks: mouse down, mouse up.
Pretty much the *only* exception to this expectation -- that I can think
of -- is when a click is initiated on one menu item and finishes on a
menu item that is its peer.
