I am using ubuntu 14.04 and have a problem with launcher (the left bar with bunch of icons).

There is a Google Chrome icon on the launcher. However, when I click it, other google-chrome icon appears at the bottom. When I put the cursor on it, name appears as "Twitter-Google Chrome" where regular icon that is permanently on the launcher appear as "Google Chrome". Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

typing a command
google-chrome&
highlight the Google-chrome (one that's on parmanently on left bar).

opening by the command google-chrome& and pressing Twitter-google chrome from dash adds extra triangle on the left of Google-chrome that is opened by the command.

moving Twitter-Google chrome to the upper side of launcher (to place it on permanently), makes it a ? icon.
Then quit the chrome and clicking the ? changes the icon to regular red-yellow-green around the blue icon and its name to New tab google chrome. Hope it helps.

Removing Google Chrome from the launcher and adding it back may solve this problem, depending on what is causing the problem. Try this:

  • Unlock all Google Chrome from the launcher. (Right-click them to show this option.)
  • Add the application to the launcher again by dragging Google Chrome from the dash to the launcher.

First lookup for the info in ~/.local 

cd ~/.local
grep -HIrin Twitter-Google

this should point you a file where this strange info is then edit the given file to change the text, and your done
