[Bug 1295794] [NEW] nautilus opens a new window if clicked on its unity icon even when another nautilus window is open with ntfs drive folder open

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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.
