Hmm, it doesn't seem to do this for me. I'm running 15.04 too. Could you try opening a terminal, and running this command: nautilus $HOME/Dropbox Then check if the the bug occurs. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453655 Title: desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Status in nautilus-dropbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years. 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 : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
