If you unpin the items then run the app, does it appear ok?

Yes. Also, if I right click the icon and select from the menu it works.

I've just discovered if I release the mouse button fast enough when I click it works every time.

Hi Peter,

you can also try running this command in terminal: unity --reset.

It might fix this errors.

Regards,
Miha
