[Bug 1254771] Re: Launching Chrome results in new icon instance on main dock

 

Hello,

> You say that Chrome WebApps are considered separate apps from the
browser - I understand that - however, all I am trying to open is the
browser

Oh, this is strange!
Are you using Chromium or Google Chrome?

Can you open your browser, launch this command from a terminal, select
your browser's window and give us the output messages produced in your
terminal?

   $ xprop | grep CLASS

And can you also give us output messages of this command?

    $ cairo-dock -l debug | grep "chromium application detected"

Title:
  Launching Chrome results in new icon instance on main dock

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit (Unity)
  Cairo-dock 3.3.2
  Chrome 31.0.1650.57

  Within the past week, launching Chrome from my Cairo-dock main dock
  now creates a new instance of the Chrome icon, in the area of the dock
  normally reserved for applications that don't have a launcher.  (On my
  dock, that's towards the left side, just to the right of the separator
  for the 'help' icon.).  Clicking on the launcher again, consequently,
  results in another instance of Chrome  being launched.

  Prior to this, launching Chrome from CD would result in a white dot
  under the launcher - the same as for any other application launched
  from CD.  My other launchers do not exhibit this behavior - e.g.,
  Firefox, LibreOffice, etc. all respond with a white dot (showing it's
  running), and I can click on it to activate.

  Not sure of any changes to system, but it's possible that Chrome was
  updated.

  I tried dropping and re-adding the Chrome launcher, but it did not
  resolve the issue.

  Thanks in advance - attached is the text from the following command:
  cairo-dock -l debug >debug.txt

  Note I had to ctrl-Z to get it to stop in command line (maybe b/c CD
  was already running?) - not sure - so take the below with a grain of
  salt.
