Public bug reported:
Ubuntu version: 14.04 LTS
Nautilus version: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.1
Unity version: 7.2.1+14.04.20140513-0ubuntu2
Sometimes, when you already have a nautilus window opened and you switch
to another application, if you the click "Files" icon in the Unity
launcher to switch back to that nautilus window, a new nautilus window
is opened instead simply showing the nautilus window that was already
opened.
Steps to reproduce problem:
0. Close all nautilus windows.
1. Click on the "Files" icon in the Unity launcher to open a new nautilus
window.
2. On the left pane of nautilus, under the Devices section, open a partition or
hard drive of your computer which is not the root partition of your Ubuntu
installation.
3. Switch to any other application (such as the Caculator or a Terminal window)
using the Unity launcher.
4. Click on the "Files" icon in the Unity launcher to switch back to the
nautilus window that you had opened.
Expected behaviour: The nautilus window opened in step 1 is focused.
Actual behaviour: A new nautilus window is opened.
The problem can be reproduced by the following steps as well:
0. Make sure no nautilus window is opened.
1. Click on the Trash icon in the Unity launcher.
2. Click on the "Files" icon in the Unity laucher.
Expected behaviour: The nautilus window which opened when the Trash icon was
clicked is focused.
Actual behaviour: A new nautilus window is opened.
The reason I believe that the bug lies within nautilus is because I
tried the first set of steps with the Thunar file browser and the
problem did not occur. However, it could be a bug within the Unity
launcher as well.
