Public bug reported: I'm running Trusty with Epiphany 3.10.3, which just landed there.
To see the problem: 1. Launch Epiphany. 2. Exit Epiphany. 3. Launch Epiphany again. Two Epiphany windows will appear. (Usually both are full size, but sometimes one of them is tiny.) Actually when you exit Epiphany in step 2 the Epiphany process remains running in the background. If you kill this process before step 3 then only one window appears. I see the same problem if I build Epiphany 3.10.3 from source without any Ubuntu patches. The problem is no longer present in Epiphany 3.11 in git master, because the Epiphany developers made a change there so that Epiphany exits immediately: see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711409 https://git.gnome.org/browse/epiphany/commit/?id=78e8d7f045396cd753a73f9106e19b3bb3fe5d57 But that change was non-trivial, so it seems unlikely that the GNOME developers will backport it to the 3.10 branch. ** Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to epiphany-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263495 Title: rerunning Epiphany 3.10 opens two windows Status in “epiphany-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running Trusty with Epiphany 3.10.3, which just landed there.
