Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04.1
gnome-font-viewer 3.16.2
What I expect: When I double-click the Font Viewer icon from the Dash
Applications scope it should launch the Font Viewer.
What actually happens: It does not. I get the waiting cursor and the
Font Viewer tile on the launcher for a few seconds and then the tile
disappears.
I can go to a terminal and type "gnome-font-viewer" and it runs without
any issues.
Here is the content of the desktop file:
