Lucas Clemente Vella (lvella-gmail) wrote : app icon on the vertical bar lost track of running instance

Binary package hint: unity

The problem occurred on the vertical bar that I don't know the name but seems like a copy of Windows 7 where you can't know for sure if the application is running or if it is just a shortcut.

Since some minutes ago, Unity lost track of the running instance of my web browser (Chromium, I am using it right now). Every time I click on Chromium's icon I get a new instance instead of the running one. If I minimize any Chromium windows, the only way to reach them back is through Alt + Tab, since clicking the icon will give me a new window, as if it were not running.

I would expect that clicking on the icon of the running application, it would restore the existing window instead of creating a new one, like what is happening right now with the other program I am using.

I don't know what made Unity lose track of Chromium, and I don't know how to reproduce the problem.
