As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there.
Change in behaviour: A new Nautilus window is opened and focused regardless of the current state of Nautilus. This behaviour occurs when a Nautilus window is open, closed, minimised and even when Nautilus is stopped (nautilus -q in a terminal). ** Tags added: desktop-bugscrub-triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040158 Title: Empty trash from Launcher changes focus to Nautilus Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I empty the trash from Launcher, it changes the focus away from the current maximized window (e.g. Firefox) to the file manager if Nautilus is open. When Nautilus is closed, the behaviour is normal; only the confirmation message appears.
