SUMMARY When using a touchscreen, users must touch an app in a dock twice to start them. The first tap highlights the icon, and the second starts it. Happens on both X11 and Wayland. If an icon is already highlighted (with the mouse for example), a single tap is enough to start the app. After the last tap successfully started the app, the dock will play the "zoom on hover" animation, until the app is actually shown on screen. Panels work as expected and users only need to tap once to interact with them. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a simple dock 2. Tap an app icon once 3. Tap on the same icon a second time to start the app OBSERVED RESULT Users need to tap twice on an icon to start the app, which then plays a buggy hover animation. EXPECTED RESULT Users should need to tap only once to start an app in a dock, and it should only play the starting animation, not the hover.

does this also occur with plasma panel and plasma taskmanager?
Plasma and latte panels work just fine. Only the dock needs a double tap to interact with.

I created a default dock which has the bug. Then I right clicked on the dock and selected "Add Dock/Panel" -> "Default Panel". This created a latte panel with the same appearance as the plasma one. With this panel, I tried the Icons-Only task manager, the Task Manager, the Window List and the Latte Tasks listed under alternatives. All worked as expected, without the double tap bug. I also right clicked on the desktop and selected "Add Panel" -> "Default panel" to create a plasma panel. I tried the same task managers as with the latte panel, and it also worked without the bug. So in my case, I can only reproduce the double tap bug on a Latte dock, not Latte panels or Plasma panels.

If you disable the parabolic effect of the dock same issue?
I went into "Edit Dock" -> "Appearance" and set "Zoom on hover" to 0 (was at 80%), and it fixed the bug! No weird animation, the application icon happily bounces and the app starts as expected on a single tap. So yes it might have something to do with the parabolic effect.
