This is a Unity bug (it's another case of it launching applications with a completely bogus timestamp)

I have tested this using the askubuntu scope (unity-scope-askubuntu) of the help lens (unity-lens-help) and also using the reddit lens from my own PPA. It has also been reoprted on askubuntu as an issue in Ubuntu 12.04.1 using unity-lens-askubuntu from the software centre: http://askubuntu.com/questions/184437/bug-involving-the-launch-of- firefox-from-askubuntu-lens A workaround for this appears to be using a specific command to open the webbrowser in 'activate_uri' rather than letting unity automatically open the result. eg: in the askubuntu scope, connecting the 'activate_uri' signal to the scope and making it run the following: def activate_uri(self, scope, uri): webbrowser.open(uri) return Unity.ActivationResponse(handled=Unity.HandledType.HIDE_DASH, goto_uri='') To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1050687/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
