Bug#897570: budgie-desktop: Cannot open additional windows for term apps

[Alexandre Paradis]

Hi David,

The issue you linked is quite old, and I think it's not exactly the same
problem, as other applications I tried do have a "New Window" menu item to
open a separate instance.

However, I can take a look at their other open issues if one matches.

If I can't find one, should I just open a bug report upstream and link it
back here?

Thanks!

Alex

PS:. Yes, it is gnome-terminal but also most terminal apps I tried
(xfce-terminal and mate-terminal)

Bug#897570: budgie-desktop: Cannot open additional windows for term apps

[David Mohammed]

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)

Bug#897570: budgie-desktop: Cannot open additional windows for term apps

[Alexandre Paradis]

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
