Hmm, it doesn't seem to do this for me. I'm running 15.04 too.
Could you try opening a terminal, and running this command:
nautilus $HOME/Dropbox
Then check if the the bug occurs.

Title:
desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox
folder
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in nautilus-dropbox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years. With Ubuntu
15.04 there is a new problem that my desktop icons disappear when I
click on the dropbox icon in the status bar and choose Open Dropbox
Folder. Then the desktop icons will disappear - but will remain
visible in Files -> Desktop.
The only way I know to get the desktop icons back is to log out and
then log back in again. The bug is 100% reproducible, and it never
appeared before 15.04. I also have Copy on my status bar. Clicking on
Copy -> Open Copy Folder has no problems. Likewise I can use File with
a right click and use Open a New Window and that too is OK. Only
dropbox has a problem and only since 15.04
If I can help in any way, please contact me ilan.tal - at - gmail.com
