Here's workaround (thanks Sadi Yumuşak (sa-yu)) that works for me in 16.04:
1. cp "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop" ~/.local/share/applications/files.desktop 2. Create ~/.config/autostart/fsck-nautilus.desktop containing (or create it via Ubuntu's autostart configurator): [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=sh -c "~/fsck-nautilus.sh" Hidden=false NoDisplay=false X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name[en_US]=Nautilus fix Name=Nautilus fix Comment[en_US]= Comment= 3. chmod +x ~/.config/autostart/fsck-nautilus.desktop 4. Check in Ubuntu autostart that it's enabled. 5. Create "~/fsck-nautilus.sh" containing: sleep 10 nautilus -q sleep 5 nautilus -q gtk-launch files.desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629651 Title: After minimizing a Nautilus window of another partition or external media or Trash folder, clicking on the "Files" icon on the Launcher again doesn't restore the minimized window, but opens a new one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1629651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
