Bug Description

Ubuntu 20.04.1
GNOME 3.36.2
GNOME extensions: dash-to-panel 39
Xorg 7.7+19ubuntu14

Starting an app from its .desktop shortcut should deselect the shortcut icon after double-clicking on it, because it lets the user know that the double-click was registered (as opposed to a single click) and the application is starting.

This makes a difference if the app is slow to start, since I'm not sure anymore whether I should double-click again or not.
