Title:
[snap] update hides the running browser
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Problem description:
I had a couple of tabs open in incognito mode and the Chromium window
was minimized/didn't had the focus. Suddenly, the desktop icon
vanished then reappeared, but the new icon indicated that Chromium was
not running (no "dot"/running indicator next to the icon) so I
couldn't get to my old tabs/session.
Steps to reproduce:
1) install chromium from snap
snap install chromium
2) open chromium in incognito mode
3) open a site in a tab
4) minimize the browser
5) wait for snap to refresh the chromium version
6) notice that you can't access the browser executing from
the old snap version as it's no longer visible from the
launcher, only the new one is there
Workaround:
1) start chromium from the new snap
2) open the "task manager"
3) double-click on one of the process tied to an old tab from the previous
snap version
