Public bug reported:
I was told to file a bug instead of a suggestion in brainstorm for this (see:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28622/)
There needs to be an alternate way to open a new instance of an already running
application.
Currently the only way to achieve this is a middle click or a shift+meta+number.
When right clicking an application there is an entry with the
application name logically clicking it should start a new instance (ala
Windows 7) but it doesn't. I think this should be changed.
Also to complement the shift+meta+number shortcut a shift+click should
also open a new instance of an already running application. (also works
in Windows 7)
