Activities Overview: "New Window" doesn't open a new window of a app
Last modified: 2015-12-26 18:20:51 UTC
The activities overview allows the user to launch a new instance of an application using the "New Window" feature - or simply CTRL+ENTER But this feature doesn*tt work anymore in the following scenario. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open activities and type files 2) Hit CTRL-Enter >> creates a new Files windows 3) Open activities and type files 4) Hit CTRL-Enter >> the previous created Files window will be reused. I would expect, that a second (new) Files window will be created. The following situation will work: 1) Open activities and type files 2) Hit CTRL-Enter >> creates a new Files windows 3) Navigate to Documents in Files 4) Open activities and type files 5) Hit CTRL-Enter >> the previous created Files window will be reused. The described behavior is not dedicated to Files. I am using Fedora 23 Name : gnome-shell Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 0 Version : 3.18.3 Release : 1.fc23
