[Bug 949985] [NEW] Running "Chrome" results in no unminimize button (no switching back to window) on launcher

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

64-bit ubuntu 12.04 beta

I installed Chrome from http://google.com/chrome - There was a package
for 64-bit ubuntu (.deb) which i used.  The program itself worked
wonderfully, i loved having, for example, voice search from my laptop
(Worked amazing), it has other features i use.

I ran the search tool on the gnome launcher (top left button with ubuntu
logo) - searched for Chrome - then dragged chrome to the launcher, so it
was a launch button, i made sure it was locked to the taskbar or
launcher or whatever you call it.

But when i run Chrome, no windows are marked as active, and if i
minimize a chrome window it is gone for good never to be seen again but
in the background somewhere.

The chrome browser opens fine.  IT just isn't available as a window to
switch to.

Note - most open windows are markded with a little arrow on the left of
it in the launcher, that does not happen with chrome, There is also no
secondary icon that is activated.  If I click chrome a second time, it
just opens a new window, any chrome windows that i minimize cannot, i
repeat here, be restored to view again.

What I expect to happen: When the window is open for Chrome, there
should be an icon on the left launcher telling me it is open.  When I
minimize a window, i should be able to somehow restore or maximize it.

What happened instead: If I minimize a Chrome window, it is gone for
good.  Even if i press Alt+Tab while chrome is open, it is not in the
list of open windows to switch to, even if it is on the screen in front
of me.
