Bug Description

Hey Ubuntu Team

i Use Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and my problem is if i open nautilus from Unity and minimize + maximize

nautilus within my home directory but if i minimize maximize nautilus during i´ another partion it opens

second nautilus window instead to use the nautilus windows which is allready open/minimize + maximize

1.Nautilus works fine if you want to use minimize or maximize or get nautilus back to foreground

2.Nautilus/file version is 3.10.1

3.what i expect was if maximize nautilus/files again

3.no matter where that´s only open one window instead a seconde one

Step 1. Click to the nautilus icon on unity panel opens new window at home folder.
Step 2. Choosing a mounted ntfs folder and minimize the windows. Focus to another program eg. firefox.
Step3. When click to the nautilus icon again to maximize the window that the ntfs folder is chosen, it opens second new home folder window.

But if there is a local folder such as Pictures or Documents at the first window,
Nautilus does not open new Home folder like the first situation. It recalls and maximize the first folder (as normally expected).

And if there were two or more previously opened nautilus windows (no matter what folders active in them (ntfs part. or local/bin or etc)) it summarizes preview icons.

Q.: There must be reason for why it opens new Home folder window when the previous nautilus window is located at the ntfs Volume. It does not happen for 2 or more windows.
And also for this stiuation, right click to the nautilus icon does not list the previously opened and ntfs volume chosen window.

This bug affects me too.

Important notes 1: When i'm using Nautilus whithin my Home directory, maximize and minimize function normally, however, when I'm browsing on another partition (NTFS - dualboot Win7 or pendrive), by clicking on the icon opens a new instance instead of using the same.

Important note 2: I realized that when the Nautilus is not locked in the launcher (I'm using Nemo for while), the minimize and maximize function normally.

The same here on the same 14.04 with 3.13.0-37.
Thanks to @ibrahim for well noticed detail about NTFS. I hadn't paid attention to this before.
