Comment(by garycmartin):

 Replying to [comment:6 erikos]:
 > To get to open two activities you really need to do a double click
 (clicking two times fast) - that behaviour I would only expect by users
 who are already used to a 'double-click' system. I personally never had
 this problem. First time I saw that this was 'possible' was when I tested
 this bug.

 I notice just about everybody about me double click every darn thing under
 the sun (novice, short exposure Mac/Windows users). And the current click,
 and wait at least 1-2 seconds, to see any UI feedback is just too tempting
 for a kid who thinks their click may not have been registered. If the
 #7742 latency issue can be improved on, this track would be slightly less
 critical; however this is a regression from previous official releases.
 We'll be back getting complaints from teaches that kids are accidentally
 launching multiple activities, and activities are taking too long to start
 (because several are starting up at once).

 This is a 'basic UI 101 class' behaviour, I'm amazed it's fallen out the
 UI again :-(
