Bug Description
Having haptic feedback on the dash is great! However, having it for normal tap activation isn't. Normal activation of dash elements is usually instant, so no additional feedback is required.
Currently these elements have instant haptic feedback:
- apps in the Dash
- keyboard buttons (by default)
- System Settings categories
- page stack items
- pushbuttons (e.g. in the power dialog)
- checkboxes (e.g. in Language & Text settings)
- switches
- Browser toolbar buttons, except for Add Bookmark
These do not:
- apps in the Launcher
- unlock screen and phone dialpad buttons
- toolbar buttons everywhere except Browser
- links in Web pages
- pushbuttons or checkboxes in Web pages
- text fields anywhere
One way to resolve this inconsistency would be to reserve haptic feedback for long-press. The user often doesn't know if it's been triggered or not. Having vibration happen when long-press is recognized might be the best use of this feature.
*** UX Solution ***
We agree with the above solution. Haptic feedback should be reserved for long press & keyboard buttons (on by default).
All the other elements should not have haptic feedback.

I'll toss in my own feedback on the feedback: app launch is not instant, so it seems to make sense there (for now). App to the foreground (ie, from Recent Apps) is instant, and doesn't seem to need haptic feedback.
