Docky won't relaunch Thunderbird

[Martin Eve]

Binary package hint: docky

Running Maverick with all updates as of 14th December, I am encountering a problem I haven't seen before that persists between reboots.

If I launch Thunderbird from Docky, and then close it, Docky will not restart the application.

If I then right click the Thunderbird icon in Docky, it still thinks there is an active Thunderbird window; ie. it is not correctly detecting close of Thunderbird.

I have verified that Thunderbird is, indeed, not running from the terminal via ps.

This does not happen with other applications such as the terminal.

Confirming. I'm seeing this issue too (Ubuntu 10.10, docky 2.0.9)
I can't reproduce it though, it just happens from time to time here.

Sorry, I mean Ubuntu 11.04, natty.

So if this happens, you can right click and choose 'New Window' and it should launch it.

[Stefan Ebner (sebner)]

Yep, you are right. Either this or any other way launching it (except clicking the icon on the dock) works.
I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow to see what causes this.
