I'm having problems with the Chrome launcher icon for Ubuntu 14.04.

When I open Chrome for the first time, both via the icon launcher (call it icon1) that through any other way, it creates a new icon (call it icon2) in the Launcher; the default behavior, as you already know, should be to modify the clicked icon with a new background and an arrow on the left. Then, if I move the mouse on icon2, it always display the same title (focus@will - google chrome) even if this page is not open in any chrome window.

Launcher title

Also, I can't use icon2 to open a new window because there is no such option; so if I leave only icon2 as the locked launcher icon, I'm unable to launch Chrome at all. Finally, when I type chrome in the dash, I have three different result. Dash This problem seems to be related to the last update (not too sure btw). I already tried to remove Chrome (without purge), but nothing changes.

  • Chrome is famous for its behaviour on .desktop files. You must have outdated/incorrect Chrome .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications, see http://askubuntu.com/a/516346/72216 and http://askubuntu.com/a/437073/72216 – Jacob Vlijm Apr 01 '15 at 13:18
  • Ty @JacobVlijm for your help. Indeed, this is the files chrome-related in the folder http://pastebin.com/rtgtPJky Should I delete all of them? – tigerjack Apr 01 '15 at 14:42
  • Ok, it seems that the two files involved are chrome.desktop and google-chrome-stable.desktop: both have the same Exec but different Name. – tigerjack Apr 01 '15 at 14:46
