Reproduced the same bug in 3.3.3-0ubuntu1 via steps from comment #22 ** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gedit Normally, gedit is a single instance application, meaning that it is started only once, and subsequent invocations are merged into the already running instance. When starting gedit from unity (either via dash, or via Alt+F2) and later from somewhere else (I tested opening a file in nautilus, opening a file from the archive manager, and running from the command line), gedit is started a second time. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 $ apt-cache policy gedit gedit: - Installed: 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 - Candidate: 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 - Version table: - *** 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 0 - 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 + Candidate: 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 + Version table: + *** 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy unity unity: - Installed: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 - Version table: - *** 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 0 - 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty-updates/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 0 - 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty/main amd64 Packages + Installed: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 + Candidate: 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 + Version table: + *** 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty-updates/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 0 + 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty/main amd64 Packages + + TEST CASE: + 1.
