Steffen Krumbholz (skrumbholz) wrote : Nautilus opens new window instead of restoring the minimized window

Sometimes left clicking the nautilus launcher icon doesn't bring up a minimized nautilus window. Instead of restoring the window a new instance of nautilus is showing up.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a nautilus window by clicking on the launcher icon.
2. Navigate to a symlinked directory whose target is located on a different harddrive (for example: a symlink to a folder on a sd-card).
3. Minimize the nautilus window.
4. Try to bring up that window again by clicking the launcher icon.

What happens:

1. A new instance (window) of nautilus is opened.
2. There's no obvious way to access the first window again. The only way is ALT+TAB.

What schould happen:

If a nautilus window is already open and minimized clicking the launcher icon should bring up that window. This was the behavior of nautilus windows in Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal).
