Public bug reported:
When you have Pidgin kept in the launcher and opens it using the Dash ou
HUD, it creates a new icon in the Launcher, instead of using the
existing icon.
When you click in the icon that's not "active" (the icon that's dont
have the little white arrow in this side), both icons blinks, like if
they are "connected" one with each other.
I am using unity-2d, and cannot say if it happens in unity-3d.
However, i tested in Oneiric Ocelot (also in unity-2d) and the described
behavior don't occurs .
In Precise, I tested with other programs and this error seems to happen
only with pidgin, so, apparently is not a issue with unity-2d as a whole
(at least not in the several programs that i tested).
-What you expected to happen
When opened by the dash or HUD, Pidgin should use the icon that's kept
in the launcher, like all the other programs.
-What actually happened
Pidgin creates a new icon in the launcher.
-Steps to reproduce
1. Make sure you have Pidgin kept in your launcher (if don't, open it, right
click in the icon and select "keep in laucnher").
2. Open the dash, search for Pidgin and run it.
2.1. The bug also occurs if you run Pidgin from the HUD.
3. Pidgin will ignore the existing icon in the launcher and create a second
icon. But the first icon also opens the same instance of Pidgin.
PS.: Sometimes, when you click in the launcher icon, a second icon pops up for
a while, but disappears (in most cases when the connection is finished and the
buddy list charge is completed). This behaviour seems to not occurs with
Oneiric too.
