Public bug reported:
I have an external disk connected via USB; it contains several logical
units one of which is called "IOM_data".
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Open Nautilus
2. On the left panel, select the IOM_data unit
Expected behavior:
Should display the contents of the external disk unit, and Nautilu's Launcher
icon should still be selected.
Observed behavior:
Displays the contents of the external unit, but the Launcher icon of Nautilus
is no longer highlighted, not only that, it doesn't have any triangle on the
left of it, as if no Nautilus window was open at all.
Additional steps:
3. Now click on Nautilus' Launcher icon
Expected result:
Since the icon should be already selected in the first place, nothing should
happen at all. If in the meantime you had given focus to some other window,
this should simply give focus back to the existing Nautilus window where you
had opened the external disk unit.
Observed result:
This opens a NEW Nautilus window, showing by default the Home folder. The
Launcher icon looks like this is the only existing Nautilus window. However,
the other Nautilus window with the external disk unit still exists. You can
reach it with Alt+Tab or by minimizing/moving other windows until it becomes
visible.

- The very fact that a window CAN exist without having a corresponding icon in
Launcher is either a bug or a design flaw in the Unity itself (or in Launcher,
or whoever is responsible for that). This should be something IMPOSSIBLE at the
lowest level. And there are other instances of that happening unrelated to
Nautilus (I think I reported some).
- Besides that, I guess Nautilus is doing something wrong too.
