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

**********
 SOLUTION
**********

WORK-AROUND

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

- Or hover the mouse over the Nautilus icon in the launcher, and roll
the mouse wheel down/up, it should switch to the Naulitus window without
open new instance of it.

FIX

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

REGRESSION POTENTIAL

- Clicking on the "Files" icon won't send the user to its home folder,
but to the latest opened Files window.
