Public bug reported:

If Nautilus is open on a location that is not '~' , when clicking the
launcher on the unity laucher bar it opens '~' when it should focus on
the already opened window.

When 2 windows are open, it will focus on the last used one instead of
launching a new Nautilus instance.

This is a bit confusing. Why does it open a new Nautilus instance when I
have 1 aready open? Why does it not open a new instance when I have 2?

Description:

Nautilus opens a 2nd instance when the location of the first instance is not 
the user's home, will focus on the already opened instance if it is.
Nautilus does not reproduce the same behaviour if there are already 2 instances 
open, it will focus on the last used instance instead, no matter the current 
location of any of the instances.

Desired behaviour:

If a Nautilus instance is already running it should focus on that
instance no matter the current location that instance is at the moment
you click the launcher or open the last focused (used) Nautilus window.
Fifefox does not open a new window if the current tab is not the default
home page does it? It just opens the one you are already using. Why
would Nautilus do it then? If I need another Nautilus window I can right
click and select a quick shortcut to a location.
