Hi David, The issue you linked is quite old, and I think it's not exactly the same problem, as other applications I tried do have a "New Window" menu item to open a separate instance.
However, I can take a look at their other open issues if one matches. If I can't find one, should I just open a bug report upstream and link it back here? Thanks! Alex PS:. Yes, it is gnome-terminal but also most terminal apps I tried (xfce-terminal and mate-terminal) On Thu, May 3, 2018, 5:26 AM David Mohammed <davidmoham...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sounds like an upstream issue - not Debian specific > > There are various reports upstream such as this > https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/232 > > and this PR which has been merged apparently allows you to shift-click > on an icon to launch a new instance > > https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/pull/1364 > > Going to mark this as a wishlist item. > > Once v10.4.1 of budgie-desktop is released we can check then if the > shift-click method resolves this launch of a new instance issue with > gnome-terminal (I am guessing that is the terminal you are using) > > On 3 May 2018 at 02:37, Alexandre Paradis <debian-...@alexparadis.net> > wrote: > > Package: budgie-desktop > > Version: 10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2 > > Severity: important > > > > Dear Maintainer, > > > > When pinning a terminal application to the taskbar, I cannot spawn > additonal instances of this application use right-click -> New Window, as > the menu is missing > > > > * What led up to the situation? > > Pin gnome-terminal, or xfce4-terminal, right-click the icon and > look for New Window > > * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or > > ineffective)? > > Same steps work as expected for other programs (Chrome, File > manager) > > * What was the outcome of this action? > > Cant find the menu item to open a second terminal instance > > * What outcome did you expect instead? > > New window menu item present > > > > > > > > -- System Information: > > Debian Release: buster/sid > > APT prefers testing > > APT policy: (500, 'testing') > > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > > Foreign Architectures: i386 > > > > Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) > > Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), > LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) > > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > > Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) > > LSM: AppArmor: enabled > > > > Versions of packages budgie-desktop depends on: > > ii budgie-core > 10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2 > > ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backen 0.28.0-2 > > ii gir1.2-budgie-1.0 > 10.4+git20171031.10.g9f71bb8-1.2 > > ii gnome-control-center 1:3.28.1-1 > > ii gnome-menus 3.13.3-11 > > ii gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-8+b1 > > ii gnome-session-bin 3.28.1-1 > > ii gnome-session-common 3.28.1-1 > > ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.28.1-1 > > ii network-manager-gnome 1.8.10-5 > > > > budgie-desktop recommends no packages. > > > > budgie-desktop suggests no packages. > > > > -- no debconf information >
