Launching nautilus from the command line fails to bring window to front if open already

[Albert]

Upon running:

$ nautilus .

(nautilus:24074): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed

(nautilus:24074): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed

(nautilus:24074): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed

(nautilus:24074): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance

(nautilus:24074): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

The expected behavior is that a window opens. The above happens when a nautilus window is already open for that folder, which then fails to be brought to the front.

Fortunately nautilus does not crash.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Just tested with Focal's Nautilus 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1.20.04.1 and was not able to reproduce this issue. Should be fixed.
