there are several workrounds, but it's really annoying -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170647 Title: After minimizing an external media, clicking on the "Files" icon on the Launcher doesn't restore the minimized window, but opens a new one Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Triaged Status in Unity: Triaged Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: ******* ISSUE ******* HOW TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect a removable media to the computer. 2. On the launcher, click on the "Files" icon. 3. On the left sidebar, click on the removable media icon or the trash. 4. Minimize the window. 5. Click on the "Files" icon. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR - The Files window to be maximized. REAL BEHAVIOUR - A new window is opened. RELEVANT DETAILS - The only way to navigate between windows at this moment is to use the "control + tabulation" key combination, or to click again on the "Files" icon so windows are exposed. ********** SOLUTION ********** WORK-AROUND - On the launcher, left click on the "Files" icon and select the "unlock from Launcher" option. FIX - The launcher icon for "Files" to be treated the same way as if it was unlocked. REGRESSION POTENTIAL - Clicking on the "Files" icon won't send the user to its home folder, but to the latest opened Files window. **************** TECHNICAL INFO **************** ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-18.28-generic 3.8.6 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-18-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Apr 19 11:33:13 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'814x493+136+38'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'sidebar-width' b'182' InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-07-23 (635 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110426) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-04-14 (4 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1170647/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
