Sounds like an upstream issue - not Debian specific There are various reports upstream such as this https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/232
and this PR which has been merged apparently allows you to shift-click on an icon to launch a new instance https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/pull/1364 Going to mark this as a wishlist item. Once v10.4.1 of budgie-desktop is released we can check then if the shift-click method resolves this launch of a new instance issue with gnome-terminal (I am guessing that is the terminal you are using) On 3 May 2018 at 02:37, Alexandre Paradis <debian-...@alexparadis.net> wrote: > Package: budgie-desktop > Version: 10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2 > Severity: important > > Dear Maintainer, > > When pinning a terminal application to the taskbar, I cannot spawn additonal > instances of this application use right-click -> New Window, as the menu is > missing > > * What led up to the situation? > Pin gnome-terminal, or xfce4-terminal, right-click the icon and look for > New Window > * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or > ineffective)? > Same steps work as expected for other programs (Chrome, File manager) > * What was the outcome of this action? > Cant find the menu item to open a second terminal instance > * What outcome did you expect instead? > New window menu item present > > > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: buster/sid > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (500, 'testing') > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > Foreign Architectures: i386 > > Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) > Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), > LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) > LSM: AppArmor: enabled > > Versions of packages budgie-desktop depends on: > ii budgie-core > 10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2 > ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backen 0.28.0-2 > ii gir1.2-budgie-1.0 > 10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2 > ii gnome-control-center 1:3.28.1-1 > ii gnome-menus 3.13.3-11 > ii gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-8+b1 > ii gnome-session-bin 3.28.1-1 > ii gnome-session-common 3.28.1-1 > ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.28.1-1 > ii network-manager-gnome 1.8.10-5 > > budgie-desktop recommends no packages. > > budgie-desktop suggests no packages. > > -- no debconf information
