WHAT IS THE BUG

Using Linux and Gnome. There is a quite well known extension called “Dash to dock”. It’s used by at least the PopOS! distro by default. Right clicking on the Anytype icon gives the option open a “new window”. This actually opens another (not logged in) instance of Anytype.

HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

  1. Use “Dash to Dock” or use PopOS!
  2. Have Anytype running
  3. Right click on the icon in the dock
  4. Select “New Window”

THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

I would expect to use Anytype’s way of a second window instead of a new instance

The “New window” option is gone. So this report seems obsolete.
