Public bug reported: I opened two files in OpenOffice Writer by double clicking on them in Nautilus. Writer was working fine, but its icon did not appear in the Launcher. Also, by hitting Alt+TAB to switch window, Writer did not appear among the listed windows.
After closing the program and running it again, the issue disappeared. This is the first time I observe it so it's probably very, very sporadic. Probably related to some bug in OpenOffice Writer too (but it's the system's resposibility to ensure this can't happen) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: unity 6.12.0-0ubuntu0.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-28.47-generic 3.5.7.9 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-28-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,decor,vpswitch,mousepoll,compiztoolbox,snap,commands,place,resize,session,regex,grid,wall,move,gnomecompat,imgpng,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] Date: Tue Apr 16 15:56:17 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-06-23 (1028 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2013-01-13 (93 days ago) ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 quantal running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169574 Title: Running application (OpenOffice Writer)'s icon does not appear in Launcher nor with alt+tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1169574/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
