Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce:
1. open Nautilus 2. type alt+f2 and enter r to reload Gnome-Shell 3. press the superkey to open Gnome-Shells search screen, type "files" to find Nautilus, and press enter 4. note that even though Nautilus is still open and visible in the "superkey thumbnail" dialog, selecting it from the search result does not bring it to the foreground and it stays hidden Expected result: existing Nautilus window should be brought to the foreground when selected from Gnome-Shell's search dialog Actual result: Gnome-Shell's search dialog closes after selecting Nautilus to launch, but existing Nautilus window remains hidden Note, the reload seems to be what triggers this bug. After you manually select Nautilus from the thumbnail screen, it then can be brought to the foreground by selecting it from the search dialog.
