Description Matthias Clasen 2015-02-12 20:43:04 UTC 
I select 'Open in new window' from the gear menu. The box does move into a new window, and leaves and empty, gray window behind. I think it would probably be better to go to the overview right away.

Also, there's a padding-less dimension tooltip in the center of the empty window that looks a bit lost there. Don't think it should be there.

Now I use the back arrow in the main window to go back to the overview. While I'm doing that, the running vm disappears from the new window :-(

I'm guessing this is against a VM that fails to start. I'll try to reproduce but could you please try against 3.15? I have a feeling i might haved fixed this.

By 3.15, I mean git master or next Monday's release. :)

this is with 3.15.4, in f22. And the vm starts just fine. I bring it up, then I use open in new window from the gear menu while it is already running.

    app: Return to overview on launch in new window
    
    If machine is running on the main window and user chooses to launch the
    machine it in a new window, return the main window to collection view.
    Otherwise, the main window just goes into an unusable blank state.

    actions-popover: No open_in_new_win from own window
    
    When a machine is already running in a separate window, clicking on 'Open
    in New Window' simply brings up its window so it doesn't actually do
    anything if this option is choosen from machine's window itself. Lets
    just not show this useless option in that case.
