Description Christian Persch 2004-05-30 09:43:43 UTC 
If you call "epiphany" script immediately after itself, epiphany starts multiple
instances.

Steps to reproduce:
0) Close all Epiphany windows, and start GNOME Terminal
1) Type http://www.gnome.org/ in GNOME Terminal
2) Control-Click the underlined link _twice_ within a short time period

Expected results:
Epiphany starts and opens 2 windows with www.gnome.org within each window

Actual results:
Epiphany starts up two instances. First instance opens www.gnome.org, and second
instance presents the crash recovery dialogue.

Even easier to reproduce by just typing "epiphany & epiphany &" in a shell.
Comment 2 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-06-07 11:51:26 UTC 
Not sure how much we can do about it ... I guess it's matter to figure out what
is slow to start before the bonobo interface is activated.
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-09-16 09:44:01 UTC 
Gnome terminal doesnt seem to open urls on click here (it does only from context
menu). Though I tested it with evolution and I cannot reproduce. I wonder if
it's debian related since seb128 had a similar issue.

"epiphany & epiphany &" is probably unrelated. It opens multiple instances even
if there is already a previous running instance. Not sure what's the deal there.
Comment 4 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-09-16 09:47:35 UTC 
Actually "epiphany & epiphany &" works fine too here. I was confused...
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2004-10-13 10:53:16 UTC 
Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2005-08-27 09:47:45 UTC 
This will probably be solved by going DBUS in 1.10.
Comment 7 Reinout van Schouwen 2005-12-29 16:00:20 UTC 
Perhaps the patch that detects self launch could be used here too?
Comment 8 Christian Persch 2005-12-30 20:02:23 UTC 
This is going to be solved by the dbus patch.
