Whenever I click on the icons in the Unity launcher, no visual feedback is shown. The application just opens.

Without the visual feedback, I won't be able to know whether the click event was registered properly. I end up clicking multiple times, which causes same application to open multiple instances which is a bit irritating.

Those of you who have used a Mac will know that clicking the icons in the dock causes the icons to jump which affirms that the click event was registered properly on the icon.

Is this a bug or is this intended behaviour?
