I suspect this is the same as bug #880497 which arises from horizontal scrolling, as it is really easy to accidentally scroll horizontally while using two-finger scrolling. Could you check if that is the case?
Go into Mouse and Touchpad settings, and under Scrolling, select Two- finger scrolling and uncheck "Enable horizontal scrolling". Then try reproducing this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837004 Title: Scrolling while highlighting an item in the dash will open the item.
