In 0.84, clicking an icon in the home view for an activity that is already
running will simply switch to the running instance.  It will still be
possible to have multiple instances open, by selecting "new instance" from
a dropdown menu,  but multiple instances will not be created without a
deliberate conscious choice.

I expect that this will dramatically reduce the incidence of the effect
that Carol describes.
