GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 698677
File -> "New" causes main window of GIMP to disappear in fullscreen mode

Created attachment 242260 [details] Screencast: Main window dissapearing in fullscreen. I usually work in GIMP with GNOME 3.6 - I recently upgraded to GNOME 3.8 and now the fullscreen window disappear whenever GIMP opens another window. For example when pressing Ctrl+N to create a new image. Or when pulling a Dock out of its position and make it float. It is very confusing behavior in general and prevents me from putting a dock I by accident made floating back into its position in the main window. Reproduction steps: -> Open Gimp -> Windows -> Single-Window mode -> Press F11 to go fullscreen -> Go to File -> New. The main window should now disappear.
My first guess would be to report this against GNOME. After all, GNOME has changed, not GIMP. Reassigning.
