Bug Description

ubuntu 17.04 unity8

the launcher is showing some white dots for every opened window/instance of the same app (from what i understand, like unity7), but if you open Kate and then right click on document and then open then open a submenu now the launcher shows 3 white dots (left side of Kate's icon)

see attached screenshot

i am not super sure but i think that the launcher is counting menus as instances or something

also not specific to kate, happens with lot of apps (can't tell if bug or feature)
