[Bug 1170647] Re: Clicking on Nautilus’ launcher icon opens new window instead of restoring the minimized one when browsing external drives/locations

 

I'm using 13.10. It seems to be somewhat related to this:
http://askubuntu.com/q/235805/38137

If you click on the Hard Drive launcher icon, a folder window appears
but the indicators show that it is a file window. If you then minimize
this window, it appears to go to the "Files" launcher, but actually the
correct way to restore it is to click on the Hard Drive launcher icon
again.

This is ok (ok, perhaps a little confusing for the user - the indicator
should really point to the Hard Drive launcher not the Files launcher
when such a window is open) provided that the hard drive icon remains
docked to the launcher. The real problem comes when you undock the Hard
Drive/Partition's icon from the launcher - then you have the same
behaviour with no reasonable alternative.

I hope this explanation makes sense.

Bug description:
  Sometimes left clicking the nautilus launcher icon doesn't bring up a
  minimized nautilus window. Instead of restoring the window a new
  instance of nautilus is showing up.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a nautilus window by clicking on the launcher icon.
  2. Navigate to a symlinked directory whose target is located on a different harddrive (for example: a symlink to a folder on a sd-card).
  3. Minimize the nautilus window.
  4. Try to bring up that window again by clicking the launcher icon.

  What happens:

  1. A new instance (window) of nautilus is opened.
  2. There's no obvious way to access the first window again. The only way is ALT+TAB.

  What schould happen:

  If a nautilus window is already open and minimized clicking the
  launcher icon should bring up that window. This was the behavior of
  nautilus windows in Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal).
