Hello. In recent days I have noticed a strange behaviour.
When I start Writer (I haven't lock its icon on the launcher), it can happen that:
a) it is not listed between the applications in the launcher (and even in the ALT-TAB window there is a "hole");
b) may be in the launcher but lower down, with a grey area between the last icon and the Writer icon.
I'll post some pictures to clarify.
Ideas?
Thank you!

Have you guys tried clearing out your Unity settings? While it could be a bug, it could just be a corrupt setting somewhere, or annoying cache. Like I say, I'm not 100% sure on this, so it quite probably is a bug.

I don't remember to have changed something recently.... Which kind of setting should be?

If you haven't changed anything, it could simply be the icon cache has become corrupted, for whatever reason. In this case, it wouldn't be a setting, but more of a cache issue. Or, as you maintain a bug. :)
