Public bug reported:
What Happened:
1) Started running vscode snap
2) Notice that in the ubuntu dock/gnome dash-to-dock that the VSCode icon
appears with running indicator and that clicking on the icon switches you to
the window
3) Wait for the vscode snap to be automatically refreshed
4) Notice that now the running indicator is not shown and that clicking on the
icon launches a new instance (it doesn't switch to the existing window)
Note: I had vscode open in a separate workspace and didn't even know
there was an instance running there for a while, as the dock icon had no
running indicator and clicking on the icon launched new instances !
What I expected to happen:
As with other package managers when the package is updated the app icon in the
dock should keep it's running indicator correctly. Also selecting the icon
should switch to the running window rather than launching a new window. (the
.desktop files seem to be in a stable folder and not versioned, eg
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/code_code.desktop, so I wonder what breaks
this).
