It is clearly not obvious that it should be connected to dropbox. In fact it took me a while to find where the connection was. It is however connected to dropbox. I have solved the problem personally in that I now never ask to open a dropbox window. Instead I right click on File and choose Open a New Window. That works properly. Right click on the dropbox icon -> Open Dropbox folder will kill my desktop icons. This didn't used to happen before 15.04.

With Ubuntu 15.04 there is a new problem that my desktop icons disappear when I click on the dropbox icon in the status bar and choose Open Dropbox Folder. Then the desktop icons will disappear - but will remain visible in Files -> Desktop. The only way I know to get the desktop icons back is to log out and then log back in again. The bug is 100% reproducible, and it never appeared before 15.04. I also have Copy on my status bar. Clicking on Copy -> Open Copy Folder has no problems. Likewise I can use File with a right click and use Open a New Window and that too is OK. Only dropbox has a problem and only since 15.04 If I can help in any way, please contact me ilan.tal - at - gmail.com To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1453655/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
