Public bug reported:
If I connect an external display to my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 via display
port (laptop screen main display) and click the Applications icon in the
dock, I see a brief animation and then tiny little icons appear for a
split second before vanishing. The application icons appear as normal if
I disconnect my external display. I've attached a screenshot which I
managed to take just as the tiny icons were vanishing.
