[Bug 1453655] [NEW] desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years. With Ubuntu
15.04 there is a new problem that my desktop icons disappear when I
click on the dropbox icon in the status bar and choose Open Dropbox
Folder. Then the desktop icons will disappear - but will remain visible
in Files -> Desktop.

The only way I know to get the desktop icons back is to log out and then
log back in again. The bug is 100% reproducible, and it never appeared
before 15.04. I also have Copy on my status bar. Clicking on Copy ->
Open Copy Folder has no problems. Likewise I can use File with a right
click and use Open a New Window and that too is OK. Only dropbox has a
problem and only since 15.04

If I can help in any way, please contact me ilan.tal - at - gmail.com
