Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity-2d

For example, I open Synaptic, go to software-properties from "configuration" menu (repositories) and when i close the software-properties window, the synaptic's icon on the launcher isn't showing the glow arrow (the left arrow that appears when a app is running)
I have the same issue with empathy, I'm talking with a friend on a chat window, I close the contact's window, and the empathy icon isn't showing the arrow.

And when I click on one of these icons on the launcher when they aren't showing the glow arrows (but these programs are openned), the icons opens a new window, is just like the other windows aren't openned.

I attach 2 screenshots

I can reproduce the issue with synaptic (it was previously described as part of bug #753382, but it will be better tracked here separately).

However I can’t reproduce the issue with empathy.
@Joaquín: can you reproduce reliably this last one? If so, can you please detail the exact steps needed to observe the issue?

1º Add empathy to the launcher
2º Open empathy
3º open a chat window without closing the contacts window
4º now, close the contact window
5º look at the empathy icon on the launcher

Joaquín, unfortunately I’m unable to observe the issue with empathy by following the steps you describe above.
After closing the contacts window, the empathy tile in the launcher still has the running arrow indicator on the left to indicate that it has a window open.
