Plank

Drawing-position cache not updated for all moved items

Bug Description

Clicking the icon launches the application named in the hover text, not the one that the icon is for. There is also an unnecessary gap in the icon. This has only happened twice and as you logout they rearrange themselves correctly.

I didn't know "$ plank -d" was required when it happened but will run it if the error happens again.
Plank=0.6.0
OS=elementary-OS Luna
Window-manager ? (Too technical a question for me.)

you can reproduce overlapping icons by grabbing an icon and moving it quite fastly horizontally over the other icons in the dock; keep moving it until it happens., it should after some time.

Oblv1: I have tried this and I agree. I can't intentionally make a gap or put an icon on top of another, but I can sooner or later make one of those things happen at random, I did not even need to move it very quickly. Afterwards I could still move one of the overlapping ones normally but not the other. Moving the movable one of the pair only results in another one landing on top of the other one of the pair. I can get rid of the pair by throwing the moveable one away.
