Title:
  Nautilus launcher opens 2 windows before getting focusing on the
  current open one

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If Nautilus is open on a location that is not '~' , when clicking the
  launcher on the unity laucher bar it opens '~' when it should focus on
  the already opened window.

  When 2 windows are open, it will focus on the last used one instead of
  launching a new Nautilus instance.

  This is a bit confusing. Why does it open a new Nautilus instance when
  I have 1 aready open? Why does it not open a new instance when I have
  2?

  Description:

  Nautilus opens a 2nd instance when the location of the first instance is not the user's home, will focus on the already opened instance if it is.
  Nautilus does not reproduce the same behaviour if there are already 2 instances open, it will focus on the last used instance instead, no matter the current location of any of the instances.

  Desired behaviour:

  If a Nautilus instance is already running it should focus on that
  instance no matter the current location that instance is at the moment
  you click the launcher or open the last focused (used) Nautilus
  window. Fifefox does not open a new window if the current tab is not
  the default home page does it? It just opens the one you are already
  using. Why would Nautilus do it then? If I need another Nautilus
  window I can right click and select a quick shortcut to a location.
