Bug Description

For some strange reason after switching from Xorg to Wayland under Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22, when I click on the docked gnome-terminal icon in the dock I find that if a Terminal window is already open, or even multiple already, instead of just going to one of the existing ones as one would expect it to do, it opens a new Terminal window and acts as if none were open already. If one is to carry on clicking it it will open many many more Terminal windows, it may then randomly stop this strange behaviour and just focus on one of the already open ones. Though when it decides to go back to normal appears to be completely random. I have not found this issue with any other of my applications, just gnome-terminal.
