Locking the Scribus icon to the launcher is a workaround. ** Description changed:
I have tested this with a Guest account using the standard Unity settings. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Scribus from the Dash 2. Click OK on the Scribus Dialog. 3. Maximize the Scribus window. 4. Close Scribus. 5. Restart Scribus from the Dash & OK the Dialog. 6. Close Scribus. - 7. Restart Scribus from the Dash & OK the Dialog. - 8. Now Scribus icon fails to appear in Unity launcher, and will never appear again, no matter how often the application is relaunched. + 7. Restart Scribus from the Dash & OK the Dialog. + 8. Now Scribus icon appears in Unity launcher then immediately disappears, and will never appear again, no matter how often the application is relaunched. Expected behaviour - Scribus icon visible in Unity launcher. Actual behaviour - Scribus icon fails to appear in Unity launcher, and Scribus application thus appears to be completely divorced from the Unity desktop (e.g. cannot be reached even by Alt-Tabbing) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: unity 5.12-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,decor,compiztoolbox,regex,resize,imgpng,move,grid,snap,unitymtgrabhandles,animation,mousepoll,place,vpswitch,gnomecompat,wall,session,workarounds,expo,fade,ezoom,scale,unityshell] Date: Mon May 14 15:40:39 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_GB:en - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_GB:en + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Summary changed: - scribus becomes divorced from unity launcher + running application (scribus) disappears from unity launcher -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999171 Title: running application (scribus) disappears from unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/999171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
