Description GP 2014-06-21 15:03:51 UTC 
What to do:
1. Launch an Incognito Window.
2. Select New Window in the global menu OR Ctrl + N

What is expected: A new regular Window should launch.
What happens: A new Incognito Window is launched.

Why does it matter: If I only have an Incognito Window opened, then the only possible way to open a new normal window is to select New Window in the... Dash! This is atrociously counter-intuitive. If I would want to open another Incognito Window, then I would select New Incognito Window in the global menu, or I'd type Ctrl + Shift + N.

I use GNOME Web 3.12.1 in Fedora 20 (copr repository)

Is this a bug at all?

Maybe it would be good to add an option in the context menu to "Open this link in default browser" option, but I don't see how this should be implemented in a way that would not be even more confusing.

I think current behavior is correct and the expected one. I would not expect Ephy to behave as described in the reported bug.
