Title:
  nautilus opens a new window if clicked on its unity icon even when
  another nautilus window is open with ntfs drive folder open

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I could not make the title shorter and clearer, please forgive.

  How to reproduce this bug:

  On a freshly booted system running Ubuntu 14.04 having unity as its
  desktop-manager and having at least one NTFS partition on its internal
  hard disk, do the following:

  1) Open a nautilus window and mount an NTFS partition and keep any of the folders on the NTFS partition open in this window.
  2) Now open any other application(I opened firefox) and then go back to the nautilus window by pressing on nautilus' unity icon(which should have a small arrow to the left of the nautilus icon, indicating it is already open). Do not use Alt+Tab to go back to nautilus- this works fine.

  3) This will open a new nautilus window with the home folder(or
  whichever is the default path to open when a new nautilus window is
  opened) and bring the originally opened folder on the NTFS partition.

  What I expected to happen?

  Clicking on an already opened nautilus window will open(bring to
  foreground) the folder on the NTFS partition.

  What actually happened?

  A new window with my home folder as its default opening path, opened,
  giving me two nautilus windows opened.
