Only one instance is running (Activity Monitor) and only one icon shows in Command-tab. What normally happens is if my app icon is in the dock let's say somewhere in the center area when the 2nd icon appears it will appear at the far right. Then let's say when you quit the app the icon will still remain (the one on the far right) until you click it and it will disappear. Does this make any sense at all and does anyone know what could cause this behavior? Thanks,
We’ve had numerous reports of the same thing for an app I work on. Unfortunately, we’ve gotten nowhere in identifying the cause. None of the devs can reproduce it.
A lot of the users seem to have recently upgraded directly from 10.6 to 10.8, but I’m not sure if that’s true for all of them. It could be unrelated.

I thought the same thing, but numerous users have done the above and confirmed that both icons refer to the same application on disk. Also, if you leave the icons alone and simply restart the Dock, the second one goes away, which wouldn’t happen if there were two copies running.
