[Bug 1170647] Re: After minimizing an external media, clicking on the "Files" icon on the Launcher doesn't restore the minimized window, but opens a new one

 

Guys I do not understand why I do not have the problem anymore on my
ubuntu 14.04. The file icon behaves how it should be (opening all
minimized windows and middle click to open a new window). I would like
to understand what I have changed (maybe in compiz) that makes
everything fine.

I'm planning to update my distro soon but before doing it I would like
to investigate what is different from you.

I believe in the dash I'm using nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

   ISSUE
  *******

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Connect a removable media to the computer.
  2. On the launcher, click on the "Files" icon.
  3. On the left sidebar, click on the removable media icon or the trash.
  4. Minimize the window.
  5. Click on the "Files" icon.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

  - The Files window to be maximized.

  REAL BEHAVIOUR

  - A new window is opened.

  RELEVANT DETAILS

  - One way to navigate between windows at this moment is to use the
  "control + tabulation" key combination, or to click again on the
  "Files" icon so windows are exposed.

  Otherwise the minimized window Can be restored by clicking on the
  Volume's launcher icon or scrolling on the Files icon

  WORK-AROUND

  - On the launcher, left click on the "Files" icon and select the
  "unlock from Launcher" option.

  FIX

  - The launcher icon for "Files" to be treated the same way as if it
  was unlocked.

  but to the latest opened Files window.
