Public bug reported: This odd behavior started immediately after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04
I'll do a step-by-step to clarify: Open Nautilus from Launcher Browse to any folder on local hard drive Minimize Nautilus Click on Nautilus on the Launcher again, and it returns to where I was.. All is well. Open Nautilus from Launcher Browser to external usb hard drive (I have a WD "MyBook" 500GB) Minimize Nautilus Click on Nautilus on the Launcher Again - It opens a new window to the Home folder If I click on Nautilus again, it then opens the miniturized view of all open Nautilus windows, and then I can pick my exteral hard drive window. Same results from a 7GB thumb drive It works correctly while browsing a second internal hard drive ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-37.64-generic 3.13.11.7 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-37-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Oct 30 21:20:50 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes GsettingsChanges: InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-05-21 (1258 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-26 (188 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.xdg.autostart.nautilus.autostart.desktop: 2013-09-18T23:31:43.804423 ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387939 Title: After minimizing while viewing usb drive, nautilus opens new Home window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1387939/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
