Public bug reported: I have two monitors displaying my desktop, and a Unity launcher in both. I keep some applications in one screen, and some applications in the other, and some applications (especially chat apps) I drag and drop between screens depending on what I am working on in that moment.
Every so often (perhaps one or two days in a workweek?), some of the icons in the left screen (primary) launcher become unresponsive. Other icons will work fine, but a select 3-4 of them will just not respond. All launcher icons will work fine in the right (secondary) screen. Today I just realized that its just my icons that correspond to apps that I drag around that are doing this (pidgin chat windows, XChat (irc), sometimes Thunderbird, sometimes Gnome Terminal). Logging out and logging back in alleviates the issue (which sucks, major interruption of workflow). I cant seem to reproduce the issue on my own, any combination of dragging, minimizing, opening, closing, etc, between different screens all seem to work fine when Im intentionally trying to recreate this bug. It usually just happens out of no where and I cant seem to establish a pattern as to when and why. This is on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit, and Ive used the same exact hardware / peripherals for 12.04, 12.10, 13.04, and 13.10. I havent experienced this issue before 14.04.
